Kitty Wells

Ellen Muriel Deason (August 30, 1919 – July 16, 2012), known professionally as Kitty Wells, was an American country music singer. Her 1952 hit recording, "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels", made her the first female country singer to top the U.S. country charts, and turned her into the first female country star. Her Top 10 hits continued until the mid-1960s, inspiring a long list of female country singers who came to prominence in the 1960s. more »

Yes, I thought that you were true 
When I fell in love with you
For you told me you always would play square

Then I learned you had a home
That your wife had not gone wrong
And our love was just a backstreet affair

Was too late to say no? 
When I found you'd fooled me so
For as time passed on I'd learned so much to care

Though I knew I must atone
But my will was not my own
I'm paying for that backstreet affair

You didn't count the cost
You gambled and I lost
Now I must pay with hours of deep despair

You still can live your life 
With a true, forgiving wife
But I can't live down our backstreet affair

The love I gave so free 
Is left to torture me?
Though I know it's hopeless and it isn't fair

But, still I must go on 
While the gossips spread are wrong
I'm paying for that backstreet affair
