I'VE NEVER GONE TO BED WITH AN UGLY WOMAN
(Royal C. Bannon)

Bobby Bare - 1980



I've served my time losing track of the wine
Looking through red eyes at the blues
Holding on 'til the very last song
Trying to make up my mind who to choose
Chasing a dream in a whisky world
Down the neon avenue

Ah, I've never gone to bed with an ugly women
But I've sure woke up with a few
Ain't it funny how liquor and the flicker
Of a candle make you see it from a different view
Oh, I've never gone to bed with an ugly women
But I've sure woke up with a few

I've met more than one morning lying there
Groaning, crying "Lord, what did I do"
Hangin' my head as I slipped from her bed
Trying hard not to leave any clues
When I start out the evening I'm being selective
But I'll take anything after two

No, I've never gone to bed with an ugly women
But I've sure woke up with a few
Ain't it funny how liquor and the flicker
Of a candle make you see it from a different view 
Oh, I've never gone to bed with an ugly women
But I've sure woke up with a few
No, I've never gone to bed with an ugly woman
But I sure woke up with a few
