The Girl Behind the Bar (监狱里的女孩) - The Stanley Brothers

As I walked in the Wayside Tavern

The smell of drink was in the air

I threw my money on the counter

This pretty maid was standing there

My thoughts they drifted so far from me

As I looked upon her lovely face

I knew she was my kind of woman

No one could ever take her place

I said when working hours are over

I would just love to take you home

She said young man that is a pleasure

And soon we found ourselves alone

And then our arms went around each other

I felt a knife stick in her back

She turned and saw her lover running

And said his name was Barnum Jack

She did not know her lover followed

She did not know he was around

Until the fate of death had struck her

And now she sleeps beneath the ground

I sit alone tonight in prison

My thoughts are of the one so fair

That I met that night in the Wayside Tavern

When the smell of drink was in the air
