Artist/Band: Jim Ed Brown and the Browns
Lyrics for Song: Honky Tonk Man
Lyrics for Album: This Is My Beat! [RCA Victor] [1968]



(Johnny Horton - Tillman Franks - Howard Hausey)



I'm a honky tonk man and I can't seem to stop

I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox

But when my money's all gone I'm on the telephone

Callin' hey, hey mama can your daddy come home?



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 wanna see the lights of town.



Cause I'm a honky tonk man and I can't seem to stop

I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox

But when my money's all gone I'm on the telephone

Callin' hey, hey mama can your daddy come home?



--- Instrumental ---



It takes a pretty little gal and a jug of wine

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

With the jukebox a whinin' honky tonk sound

That's when I wanna lay my money down.



'Cause I'm a honky tonk man and I can't seem to stop

I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox

But when my money's all gone I'm on the telephone

Callin' hey, hey mama can your daddy come home?...
