Lyric:
As I sit here tonight the jukebox playing
The tune about the wild side of life
As I listen to the words you are saying
It brings mem'ries when I was a trustful wife
It was't God who made honky tonk angels
As you said in the words of your song
Too many times married men think they're still single
That has caused many a good girl to go wrong
[ fiddle ]
It's a shame that all the blame is on us women
It's not true that only you men feel the same
From the start most ev'ry heart that's ever broken
Was because there always was a man to blame
It was't God who made honky tonk angels
As you said in the words of your song
Too many times married men think they're still single
That has caused many a good girl to go wrong

Now friends, that is country! Seems it has gone forever. Thank goodness for YouTube.

Finally 1 million views for the song that started it all for women in country music. 1 million views for the greatest lady of country music, 1 million views for a class act, 1 million views for the voice of many generations of country fans. 1 million views for the legendary Kitty Wells.

Grandma I'm listening to this song because I am missing you and I know how much Kitty Wells was your favorite country singer.

This song was a "reply" song to Hank Thompson's mega hit, "The Wild Side of Life". Another interesting fact is that this melody has topped the charts FIVE times! Each time with different lyrics. "The Great Speckled Bird", "The Prisoner's Song" and "I'm Thinking Tonight of My Blue Eyes".

Her class. The era. The sound. The whole picture. Every aspect. The song. How it’s sung. The innocence. The beauty. Feel me?

I grew up listening to this and so country music will always be this style for me not country pop......relaxed,smooth,and simple honesty.....

Sadly these old country tunes get NO AIRPLAY on radio and although Patsy Cline seems to get airplay on Sirius XM you never hear Kitty Wells. Thankfully we have CD's and You Tube.
-
I used to play guitar for her and Johnny. My wife and I sure did love her. Everytime we're back in Nashville we drive past their house. The old bus is still in the driveway toward the back of the house.

this was way before my time... i'm 41 years of age but this is the kind country that i listen to. when country music was "COUNTRY"....

Kitty Wells, Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton the absolute best female country singers that have ever graced us with their talents. There will never be any other to replace them.
