Kitty Wells - It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels

Miss Kitty Wells sings her big 1952 #1 hit 'It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels' at the Grand Ole Opry. The songwriter was Jimmy D. Miller.

Lyric:
As I sit here tonight the jukebox playing
The tune about the wild side of life
As I listen to the words you are saying
It brings mem'ries when I was a trustful wife

It was't God who made honky tonk angels
As you said in the words of your song
Too many times married men think they're still single
That has caused many a good girl to go wrong

[ fiddle ]

It's a shame that all the blame is on us women
It's not true that only you men feel the same
From the start most ev'ry heart that's ever broken
Was because there always was a man to blame

It was't God who made honky tonk angels
As you said in the words of your song
Too many times married men think they're still single
That has caused many a good girl to go wrong

Classy "Lady" Classic country. "Real" country for sure.

I saw Kitty Wells in concert in Pennsylvania when I was about 10 years old. I loved her then and to this day still do. I'm now 65 years old. She was the best! We had and still have some great women singers but none compare to the Queen of Country Music, Miss Kitty Wells.

If you can sit there and say that, you're not listening to the song. It DOES answer it. "....too many times married men think they're still single and to cause many good girl to go wrong." That line, along with the rest of it, gives you the answer.

Grand Lady of country music....

The song doesn't answer its title. If God didn't make Honky Tonk Angels, then who did?

[MrSaltWaterBread]

Damn! Such great country music!

[carrotjuse]

A real country music classic. No one sings country like Miss Kitty. Step aside Kelly, Taylor, Martina and all you pale imitations. This is the real deal. Takes me back 60 years.

Feminist and righteous for its era

She looks and sounds so gorgeous here. Love ya Kitty!
