Story Behind The Song

A close girlfriend was a bartender, and would relate stories of people she would encounter. This inspired me.

Song Description

Seems like when you're drinking around a bar, the rest of humanity is as close as the next ear. That is often the bartender's.

Lyrics

Bartender's Daughter words/music by Jane Held

(Well I'm)
Only the Bartender's Daughter
But I'll tell you the things I hear...
I hear about lovers and all kinds of others
I hear about heads on the beer...Well I'm
Only the Bartender's Daughter
But I've lived all 'round the world... I say
Everybody around the world, is
Everybody here...
Everybody around the world, is
Everybody here

Well you may here 'till two
Ya got nothin' else to do
You may be lookin' for
Someone good-lookin'
You may be tryin' to
Find out who's buyin'
...Well I'm
Only the Bartender's Daughter...but I'm
Learnin' the tricks of the trade
A twist of that kindness, a jigger of laughter
A toast to the folks we are near...Yes I'm
Only the Bartender's Daughter
But I've lived all 'round the world...I say
Everybody around the world, is
Everybody here...(one more round)
Everybody around the world, is
Everybody here...(Last call)
Everybody around the world. is
Everybody here.
