It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels

It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels (1952)
written by JD Miller, performed by Kitty Wells

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 memories when I was a trusting wife

(chorus)
It wasn'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

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 every heart that's ever broken
Was because there always was a man to blame

(chorus)

the song starts at about :30 - worth the wait, beware of other versions of this song - they change the melody. And love that fiddle break!
