The Country Cabaret And Joe

There once was a night club, The Country Cabaret, & then there was Joe

He was the owner & bartender of the club quite a long time ago

Evenings there were filled with romance & fun

 

Cowboys & cowgirls danced to the tunes of bands that did play

On the wknds I worked the door checking ID's, with Al the bouncer

Under a crystal globe on the ballroom floor was the place to be

Now & then Joe would drop the cover & allow his patrons in for free

The Country Cabaret was the hotspot in town

Round & round we would waltz way passed midnight

You know it was always Joe & me, arm in arm

 

Charming & cozy a tavern it was, with candles lit on every table

A warm atmosphere, a nice place to meet new friends & old

Back toward the rear of the bar was the game room

Always someone playing a game of pool, or sometimes acting a fool

Remembering what a good time I use to have there

Enjoying myself at The Country Cabaret with Joe

The friendship we shared was like no other, he was such a great guy

 

A lot of years have passed since the old Cabaret closed down

Now & then I have fond memories of the time I spent there talking to Joe

Darnedest thing, years later I ran into Joe at restaraunt where I worked

 

Joe came in & we talked for hours, we dated & Joe proposed to me

Out of the blue... But there was phantom between us, I loved another guy

Every now & then I recall the good old days at the old Cabaret and Joe
