I've known some painted ladies
That sparkled in the light
Country girls that loved the lovers moon

Some I never really knew
Though I always wanted to
Some I only met once in a room

Some said their life was mine
Others of 'em stayed a while
While others left me on the run

This is the only way
The only way I have to say
I loved 'em every one

Big, little or short or tall
Wish I could've kept them all
I loved them every one
Like to thank them for their charms
Holding me in their arms
And I hope they had some fun

Here's to the ladies
In saloons and living rooms
Summer nights that lasted until dawn

Here's to the memories
Everyone's a part of me
Oh, I loved them every one

Big, little or short or tall
Wish I could've kept them all
I loved them every one
Like to thank them for their charms
Holding me in their arms
And I hope they had some fun

Big, little or short or tall
Wish I could've kept them all
I loved them every one
Like to thank them for their charms
Holding me in their arms
And I hope they had some fun
