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
