"'''(Margie's At) The Lincoln Park Inn'''" is a song made famous by [[country music]] singer [[Bobby Bare]]. Written by [[Tom T. Hall]], the song became a major hit for Bare in the spring of 1969, peaking at No. 4 on ''[[Billboard magazine]]'s'' [[Hot Country Songs|Hot Country Singles]] chart.

==Song plot==
The song is told [[first-person narrative|first-person]] style through the eyes of a family man, who describes everyday domestic life in the verses of his song. However, this is all background, as the main subject of the song is about his recent [[adultery|adulterous]] relationship with a woman named Margie. The two, as the song's title implies, had a sexual liaison at a [[motel]] called the Lincoln Park Inn.

The protagonist regrets his affair, and states that he has made a promise not to cheat anymore. However, he still harbors deep temptation for Margie (''"I know why she's there/I've been there before"''), and — still having her telephone number — knows full well that she is often a client at the inn and is probably there as he speaks.
