Honky Tonk Song - Webb Pierce

Honky Tonk Song

Webb Pierce

(Mel Tillis - Buck Peddy, DECCA 9-30255, 1957)

I got me a room in a cheap hotel
My head was a spinin' and I didn't feel well
I laid right down and tried to goto sleep
A band kept a playin in the joint underneath
I picked up my pillow and I covered up my head
But the band kept a playin' and shakin' my bed

Honky tonk, all night long
Honky tonk, the same old song
Honky tonk, my money's all gone
Honky tonk, she done me wrong
I turned and I tossed and I couldn't goto sleep
'Cause the band keeps a playin' with a honky tonk

Beat...

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 leakin' through
I picked up my pillow and I covered up my head
But the band keeps a playin' and shakin' my bed

Honky tonk, all night long
Honky tonk, the same old song
Honky tonk, my money's all gone
Honky tonk, she done me wrong
I turned and I tossed and I couldn't goto sleep
'Cause the band keeps a playin' with a honky tonk
