Don't Trade Your Old Fashioned Sweetheart Lyrics - Ernest Tubb

Take away the bright lights and music take away the power and pain 

And you'll find that a honky tonk angel can't compare with your home lovin' saint 

She's just another woman who'll never make a home 

She's had sweethearts before you she'll have others when you're gone 

Don't trade one who loves you for the bright lights that gleam 

Don't trade your old fashioned sweetheart for a honky tonk queen 

[ guitar ] 

She'll lie and she'll cry on your shoulder and she'll speek of a broken romance 

She'll say that things might have been different take pitty but don't take a chance 

Don't take a cheap imitation when you have a real pearl 

Don't take this hard hearted woman for your old fashioned girl 

Don't trade one who loves you for the bright lights that gleam 

Don't trade your old fashioned sweetheart for a honky tonk queen
