Honky Tonkin’ Songtext
von Delbert McClinton

Thanks but no thanks, baby
I′ve already got more trouble than I need
Thanks but no thanks, baby
I've already got more trouble than I need
I don′t want no lonely lustful woman's
Irate husband after me

I've been around a little bit
I′ve got me some stories I could tell
I′ve been around a while now and
I've known some lovely women rather well
I′ve been dazed and amazed
I've been a witness to a redbone Cajun spell


Honky tonkin′, I guess I done me some
I've seen the bullets in the chamber
From the other end of the gun
Well, I′ve been in lots of battles
That weren't even worth being won
Honky tonkin', I guess I done me some

I′ve been around a little bit
I′ve got me some stories I could tell
I've been around a while now and
I′ve known some lovely women rather well
I've been dazed and amazed
I′ve been a witness to a redbone Cajun spell

Honky tonkin', I guess I done me some
I′ve seen the bullets in a chamber
From the other end of a gun
Well, I've been in lots of battles
That weren't even worth being won
Honky tonkin′, I guess I done me some
Honky tonkin′, I guess I done me some
