Queen Of The Minor Key - Eilen Jewell

The day I was born a gypsy looked at me

She told my mama she could easily see

Just how bright my future would be

For I was gonna be royalty

No crown will sit on her poor head

A barstool will be her throne she said

Instead of riches and finery

She' ll have a wealth of sad songs and whiskey

She 'll be the queen, the queen, the queen

The queen of the minor key

And so you see I play the part

Before empty glasses and broken hearts

You' re in the right court if blue' s what you need

But if it 's sunshine you' re after don' t bother me

I 'm the queen, the queen, the queen

The queen of the minor key

I 'm the queen of lonely tunes

The queen of the high shelf booze

The queen of melancholy

Queen of the minor key
