Lyrics Ernest Tubb

Ernest Tubb

Commercial Affection

I was lonely I guess the night that we met in a tavern

Down on old Broadway

And there were tears in her eyes and she whispered with a sigh

Stranger please take me out of here

But it was only commercial affection

'Cause a fool and his money will part

Yes, it was only commercial affection

But she walked away with my heart

I stood in disbelief as she hurried off to meet another fool

Down on old Broadway

Now many nights have come and gone still the echo lingers on

Stranger please take me out of here

But it was only commercial affection

'Cause a fool and his money will part

Yes, it was only commercial affection

But she walked away with my heart
