Barroom Girls (Live Radio) - Gillian Welch

Oh the night came undone

like a party dress

And fell at her feet in a beautiful mess

The smoke and the whiskey came

home in her curls

And they crept through the dreams

of the barroom girls

Well she tosses and turns because

the sun is unkind

And the heat of the day is coming

in through the blinds

But eave all the blue skies for

the rest of the world

Because the neon will shine

for the barroom girls

Oh the barroom girls go by your side

Like the ponies who pass on

a carousel ride

And all of the colors go 'round

in a swirl

When you dance in the arms

of the barroom girls

Now she rolls to her feet when

she can't sleep no more

And looks at her clothes lying

out on the floor

Last night's spangles and

yesterday's pearls

Are the bright morning stars

of the barroom girls

Last night's spangles and

yesterday's pearls

Are the bright morning stars

of the barroom girls
