In fact Nic Jones titles the song The Jukebox As She Turned and credits the song to Jeff Deitchman. His notes say he got it from Rick and Lorraine Lee (who give the same title and credit on Contrasts - see Rick and Lorraine Lee). This is the Nic Jones version from Unearthed.Mick
THE JUKEBOX AS SHE TURNED
(Jeff Deitchman)
Now all the boys down at Smokey's Bar they could easily understand
How Judy left without a word, but not without a man.
That old routine that she had going was like the sun so sure
That by surprise just may not rise but it always has before.
CHORUS
And I still remember what was on the jukebox as she turned -
The dobro part out of Cheating Heart. She never has returned.
She snapped the little plated latch and she closed her pocket book.
And then paying for what she had drunk, she gave all us boys a look.
And something in that little glance sent creeps throughout the room.
Noone stared or even dared to breathe or even move.
CHORUS
And I cannot say just what others thought, Ah, but I can likely guess.
Well they were probably scared of where, just where, she'd take what we'd confessed.
CHORUS
So now that good old gang down at Smokey's Bar they've just about busted up,
With no one here left to drink our tears or to fill out empty cup.
CHORUS
