You have heard many times bout the wrong side of life
Of drinking and gambling and a new love every night
Of dancing romancing and all those pretty lights
But it's just to ease the loneliness on my side of the night

Now there's a pretty girl see her whirl her eyes twinkling bright
She looks so very happy in her new dress of white
Though she looks so fine I know it's wine that makes her feel so light
Oh it's just to ease the loneliness on my side of the night
[ dobro ]
Oh there's many maid on hearts that paid from a love that was untrue
But tofay enjoy their fortune from people feeling blue
Oh I guess you know we need a place to go whether we are wrong or right
Oh there's every kind but we don't mind on my side of the night
Yes there's every kind but we don't mind on my side of the night
