Honky Tonk Blues

(Hank Williams)



Hey, I left my home down on a rural route

Told my folks' I'm goin' stampin' out

And get the honky tonk blues (honky tonk blues.)



Hey, the honky tonk blues (hey. the honky tonk blues)

Hey Lord, I got 'em

I got the honky tonk blues (honky tonk blues.)



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

Woke up this morning wishing I could lose

Them jumpin' honky tonk blues (honky tonk blues.)



Hey, the honky tonk blues (hey, the honky tonk blues)

'Cause Lord, I got 'em

I got the honky tonk blues (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, hey the honky tonk blues



Oh Lord I got 'em, I got the honky tonk blues

I'm gonna tuck my worries underneath my arm

And get back to my pappy's farm.



And leave these honky tonk bluess (honky tonk blues)

Yeah, the honky tonk bluess (honky tonk blues)

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