Honky Tonk Song

(Mel Tillis - Buck Peddy)



Well, I got me a room

In a cheap hotel

My head was a spinning

And I didn't feel well.



I laid right down

Tried to go to sleep

But the band was playing

In the joint underneath.



I picked up my pillow

When I covered up my head

But the band kept a playing

And a shaking my bed.



Honky tonk all night long

Honky tonk same old song

Honky tonk my money's all gone

Honky tonk she done me wrong..



I turned and I tossed

But I couldn't go to sleep

'Cause the band kept a playing

With a honky tonk beat.



--- Instrumental ---



Well, I'm so blue

My baby's gone

She took all my money

And left me all alone.



I'm tryin' to forget her

But I don't know what to do

The honky tonk song

Keeps a leaking through.



I picked up my pillow

And I covered up my head

But the band kept a playing

And a shaking my bed.



Honky tonk all night long

Honky tonk same old song

Honky tonk my money's all gone

Honky tonk she done me wrong..



I turned and I tossed

But I couldn't go to sleep

'Cause the band kept a playing

With a honky tonk beat...
