[Intro]
   

[Verse 1]

She's there at

 the bar every

 evening,
             
Face powdered 

              
and cheeks pai

     
nted red.
   
Her beauty has

 faded too ear

ly,
             
Brought on by 

             
the fast life 

        
she's led.


[Chorus]
            
She's more to 

              
be pitied than

 
 scolded.
             
She needs to b

             
e loved, not d

espised.
             
Too much beer 

             
and wine, too 

         
many good time

s,
             
The lure of th

             
e honky-tonk w

              
recked her you

   
ng life.


[Verse 2]

She once was t

he bell of the

 ballroom.
             
She'd have mad

              
e some man a s

        
weet wife,
   
But too many p

arties and the

 wrong kind of

 pals
           
Ruined her hap

         
py young life.


[Chorus]
            
She's more to 

              
be pitied than

 
 scolded.
             
She needs to b

             
e loved, not d

espised.
             
Too much beer 

             
and wine, too 

         
many good time

s,
             
The lure of th

             
e honky-tonk w

              
recked her you

   
ng life.


[Outro]
             
Too much beer 

             
and wine, too 

         
many good time

s,
             
The lure of th

             
e honky-tonk w

              
recked her you

   
ng life.
