Oh, she burned the
little roadside tavern down
The only one for miles and miles round
I saw many hours of pleasure
tumble down
When she burned
the little roadside tavern down
Well, it was my home away from home
Those many nights of getting
stoned are gone
This is what she had to say,
man, you'd better stay away
Or I'll burn that little tav
ern down someday
Oh, she burned the little
Oakside tavern down
The only one for miles and miles round
I saw many hours of pleasure
tumble down
When she burned
the little roadside tavern
down
It was there I had my
freedom all night long
But she'd always fuss and
say I'd done her wrong
She said, man, you'll never learn,
just step back and watch her burn
And now that little road
side tavern's gone
Oh, she burned
the little roadside tavern down
The only one for miles and miles around
I saw many hours of pleasure
tumble down
When she burned
the little roadside tavern down
Got so many hours of pleasure
tumbled down
When she burned
the little roadside tavern down
