美國鄉村樂天后［桃莉．芭頓］──鄉村／流行／搖滾曲──［Honky Tonk Songs／鄉村酒吧低級歌曲］

Bartender wont you pour me a very strong drink
Just keep it coming till I dont have to think
And point out some cowboy that might want to dance
And make sure I get home if you see that I cant

You see I loved him, he left me for a girl half my age
I relate to each sad song that ole jukebox has played
I listen to Haggard, ole Hank, and George Jones
But why dont more women sing honky tonk songs?

Why dont more women sing honky-tonk songs?
About the heartaches and the tough breaks
And the men thats done em wrong
There are others just like me that are hurtin to the bone
So why dont more women sing honky-tonk songs

Why dont more women sing honky tonk songs
Honky tonk angels are just queens without thrones
Judge not lest you be judged, who can cast the first stone
Why dont more women sing honky-tonk songs

Bartender wont you pour me a very strong drink
Just keep it coming till I dont have to think
And point out some cowboy that might want to dance
And make sure I get home if you see that I cant

Why dont more women sing honky tonk songs
About the heartaches and the tough breaks
And all the men thats done us wrong
Theres a whole lotta women I know would sing along
So why dont more women sing honky tonk songs

Why dont more women sing honky tonk songs

１９９８年８月，５２歲半的美國鄉村樂天后桃莉．芭頓（Dolly Parton）推出第３５張大碟〔Hungry Again／再度飢餓〕（Decca／Blue Eye／MCA Nashville發行），

芭頓包辦所有歌曲創作

由桃莉和Richie Owens製作，樂評普遍正面．

大碟升到Billboard專輯榜＃１６７．

副榜──藍草專輯榜＃１２　鄉村專輯榜＃２３，

英國榜＃４１

首支單曲是７月末推出的［Honky Tonk Songs／鄉村酒吧低級歌曲］

由桃莉創作，被製作成一首鄉村／流行／搖滾曲，

在緩慢而惆悵的樂聲中，芭頓已相對扎實的唱腔演繹，獲得好評．

她在歌曲問道，“為什麼沒有更多的女性唱鄉村酒吧低級歌曲”，

因為現代鄉村歌壇的女性多半用油嘴滑舌的流行樂試圖冒充鄉村音樂．

［Honky Tonk Songs］登上美國鄉村單曲榜＃７４，加拿大單曲榜＃９１．
