Jimmie Davis — Honky Tonk Blues

[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
