Honky Tonk Man

(Johnny Horton - Tillman Franks - Howard Hausey)



Well, I'm a honky tonk man

And I can't seem to stop

Yeah, I love to give the girls a whirl

To the music of an old jukebox.



But when my moneys all gone

I'm on the telephone

A hollerin' hey hey mama

Can your daddy come home?



It takes a purty little gal and a jug of wine

That's what it takes to make a honky tonk mind

With the jukebox a moanin' honky tonk sound

That's when I want to lay my money down

'Cause I'm a honky tonk man.



--- Instrumental ---



Well, I'm living fast and dangerously

But I've got plenty of company

When the moon comes up and the sun goes down

That's when I want to see the lights of town

'Cause I'm a honky tonk man...
