Honky Tonk Blues

(Hank Williams)



Well, I left my home down on a rural route

I told my folks I'm goin' steppin' out

Forget the honky tonk blues, hey the honky tonk blues

Yeah Lord, I got 'em, I got the honky tonk blues.



--- Instrumental ---



Well, I went to a dance and wore out my shoes

Woke up this mornin' wishin' I could lose

That jumpin' honky tonk blues, that weary honky tonk blues

Yeah Lord, I got 'em, I got the honky tonk blues.



--- Instrumental ---



Well, I stopped into every place in town

This city life has really got me down

I got the honky tonk blues, yeah the honky tonk blues

Yeah Lord, I got 'em, I got the honky tonk blues.



Gonna tuck my worries underneath my arm

Get right back to my pappy's farm

Forget the honky tonk blues, yeah the honky tonk blues

Yeah Lord, I got 'em, I got the honky tonk blues.



Don't wanna be bothered with the honky tonk blues...
