Honey Don't

By David Allan Coe

I'VE DONE SOME RAMBLING DOWN IN MISSISSIPPI

I'VE DONE SOME TIME IN TENNESSEE

I SERVER MY SENTENCE IN A FENDER TWIN AMPLIFIER

HONEY DON'T YOU LAT THAT SHIT ON ME

HONEY DON'T YOU LAY THAT SHIT ON ME

I PAID MY DUES TO THE MUSICIANS UNION

HONEY DON'T YOU LAY THAT SHIT ON SLIM

I'VE BEEN A RODIE FOR SATAN HONEY

I WAS A SOUND MAN FOR THE DEVIL YOU SEE

NOW IM A GUITAR WITH THE HEART OF A BANJO

HONEY DON'T YOU LAY THAT SHIT ON ME

Honey Don't
