Well I left my home down on the rural route
I told my paw I'm going steppin out and get the
Honky tonk blues,
Yeah the honky tonkblues
Well lord I got 'em,
I got the ho-on-ky tonk blues.
Well I went to a dance and I wore out my shoes
woke up this mornin wishin I could lose
them jumpinhonky tonk blues,
Yeah the honky tonk blues
Well lord I got 'em,
I got the ho-on-ky tonkblues.
Well I stopped into every place in town
this city life has really got me down
I gotthe honky tonk blues,
Yeah the honky tonk blues
Welllord I got em,
got the ho-on-ky tonkblues.
I'm gonna tuck my worries underneath my arm
And scat right back to my pappy's farm
And leave thesehonky tonk blues,
Yeah the honky tonkblues
Well lord I got 'em,
I got the ho-on-ky tonk blues.
When I get home to my Ma and Pa,
I know they're gonna lay down the law.
About the honky tonk blues,
Them jumpin' honkty tonk blues.
Lord I'm suffrin' with the honky tonk blues.
