Honky Tonk Song Songtext
von Charlie Walker

(Mel Tillis - Buck Peddy)

I got me a room in a cheap hotel
My head was a spinnin′ and I didn't feel well
I laid right down and tried to go to sleep
The band was playing in the joint underneath
I picked up my pillow and I covered up my head
But the band kept a playing and a shaking my bed.


Honky tonk same old song honky tonk all night long
Honky tonk my money′s all gone honky tonk she done me wrong
I turned and I tossed but I couldn't go to sleep
'Cause the band kept a playing with a honky tonk beat.

--- Instrumental ---

My baby′s gonna left me and I′m feeling blue
She took all my money I'm a telling you
I′m tryin' to forget her but I don′t know what to do
The honky tonk song keeps a leaking through
I turned and I tossed but I couldn't go to sleep
′Cause the band kept a playing with a honky tonk beat.


Honky tonk same old song honky tonk all night long
Honky tonk my money's all gone honky tonk she done me wrong
I turned and I tossed but I couldn't go to sleep
′Cause the band kept a playing with a honky tonk beat...
