Onetta There In The Corner Stand
And She Wonders Where She Is
And It's Strange To Her
Some People Seem To Have Everything

And She's Looking Real Pretty
Just Wait For Her Clientele

Twenty-eight Years Have Come And Gone
And She's Seen A Lot Of Tears
Of The Ones Who Come In
They Really Seem To Need Her There

For Little Money, Just Tips For Pay
But It's Worth It All
Just To Hear Them Say That They Care

She's Seen Her Bad Times
Already Knows
These Are The Good Times

She Never Will
