[00:00.00]My Washington Woman (Rerecorded) - Kenny Rogers/The First Edition
[00:10.16]The wages of an unskilled
[00:12.33]Working man never paid enough
[00:19.63]From time to time a nickel on a race
[00:24.36]Keeps him from giving up
[00:29.19]A blue collared man in seattle
[00:33.81]Never lives on white collared street
[00:38.00]But there was food on the table
[00:40.81]For my washington woman and me
[00:47.80]The work slowed down and the one day
[00:52.50]The foreman laid me off
[00:57.13]That night in a tavern down on my last dime
[01:01.77]I met a girl from arkansas
[01:06.50]Her daddy was a banker in little rock
[01:10.45]She had a mansion on white collared street
[01:15.11]The next morning my washington woman
[01:19.18]Woke up without me
[01:24.69]From city to city and state to state
[01:29.22]I get her in shame
[01:33.84]My washington woman had six months left
[01:38.43]Before out child would bring her pain
[01:43.17]That arkansas woman hurt me
[01:47.27]As we crossed the arkansas line
[01:52.04]But the arms of seattle
[01:54.71]Are the arms that kept hugging mine
[02:01.43]For year I have basked in expensive wines
[02:05.88]Taste champagne every day
[02:10.42]I gave up all the things I loved
[02:14.88]For all these things I hate
[02:19.65]I locked up all of her forgiveness
[02:23.95]The day I set myself free
[02:28.34]And the heart of my washington woman
[02:31.79]Stopped beating for me
[02:37.57]My washington woman sends me a letter
[02:42.04]Every once in a while
[02:46.80]Inside a folded wordless page
[02:51.09]Is a picture of my child
[02:55.24]All but words the room grows cold
[02:59.73]With a feeling of jealousy
[03:03.56]And there's a silence between
[03:08.08]My arkansas woman and me
