Hank Thompson - Back Street Affair lyrics

BACK STREET AFFAIR

(Billy Wallace - Jimmy Rule)

« © '52 Forrest Hills Music »

You didn't know I wasn't free when you fell in love with me

And with all your young heart you learned to care

It brought you shame and disgrace the world has tumbled in your place

Because they call our love a back street affair

They say you wrecked my home I'm a husband that's gone wrong

They don't know the sorrow that we've had to bear

For the one that I'm tied to was the first to prove untrue

Now they call our love a back street affair

And when the mist rolls away we'll be free to love some day

And have happiness God meant for us to share

I'd climb a mountain dear just all the world can hear

That our love's not a back street affair
