[Verse 1:]
If you're gonna play the jukebox
Would you kindly keep it country?
'Cause I'm feelin' so lonely tonight

[Chorus:]
Oh, please play a sad song
'Bout a heart that's just been stepped on
Would you kindly keep it country
For me tonight?

[Verse 2:]
I'd get up off this bar stool
If you'd play something we could dance to
A song about a love that's gone astray
Oh, I love to hear 'em sing
'Bout the misery and pain
Would you kindly keep it country
For me tonight?

[Chorus]

[Outro:]
Would you kindly keep it country
For me tonight, oh?
