Honky Tonk Blues Lyrics by Jimmie Davis

Country & Western (A Ride Through History • 1924-1960): CD 02 - History Of The 1930s

[Verse 1]
If you go down to the bottom better watch the way you act
If you fool around them honkys you will never make it back
Get into trouble the best you can do is lose
For them honky tonk mamas will give you the honky tonk blues
[Verse 2]
I went down to the bottom just a week ago today
Met a honky tonky baby and I couldn't get away
Lost all my money, brand new hat and shoes
But them honky tonk mamas really had them honky blues
Yeah
[Bridge]
Oh honky tonky mama
[Verse 3]
Drank a half a pint of liquor and a half a pint of gin
Saw my honky tonkin' mama foolin' 'round some other men
Really felt mistreated, my baby about to lose
Got jealous of my baby I had them old honky blues
[Verse 4]
She's a honky tonky baby, got them honky tonky ways
She got me in trouble now I'm servin' days
Big policeman got me, he would not turn me loose
Took me down to the station, locked me in the [?]
[Bridge]
Good mornin' judge
Woo
[Verse 5]
When I go back to the bar room gonna watch my p's and q's
For them honky tonky babies will be giving me the blues
Gonna have protection, I think I have paid my dues
I'll find my honky mama give her the honky tonky blues
