Country Canary

Passing through the town of Jackson
I stopped at a roadside bar
There I heard the voice of an angel
Blended with a steel guitar

Her hair was long and lovely
She soothed me in every way
I felt something deep inside
Wanting me to say

Sing to me country canary
Sing to me, soft and low
I'll spend some time with your song and your wine
Before I have to go

Sing to me honky tonk angel
In your soft southern style
I'll drink your wine and pretend that you're mine
And be in heaven a while

While I got to be up in Monroe
Before the sun sets tonight
Cause I've got two kids that I got to feed
And love in white

If I didn't have to be in Monroe
With all of these things that I sell
I'd take the load and that dirty hot road
And wish them straight to hell

So won't you sing to me country canary
Sing to me, soft and low
I'll spend some time with your song and your wine
Before I have to go

Sing to me honky tonk angel
In your soft southern style
I'll drink your wine and pretend that you're mine
And be in heaven a while

Sing to me country canary
Sing to me, soft and low
I'll spend some time with your song and your wine
Before I have to go
