Honk Tonk Song Songtext
von Carl Perkins

I got me a room
In a cheap hotel
My head was a spining
And I didn′t feel well

I laid right down
And tried to go to sleep
A band kept a playing
In the joint underneath

I picked up my pillow
And I covered my head
But the band kept a playing
And shaking my bed

They played a honky tonk
All night long
It was honky tonk
The same old song


Honky tonk
My money's all gone
Honky tonk
She done me wrong

I tossed and I turned
And I couldn′t go to sleep
Because the band kept a playing
With a honky tonk beat

Well I'm so blue
My baby's gone
Took all my money
She left me all alone

I tried to forget her
But I don′t know what to do
The honky tonk song
Keeps a leaking through

I picked up my pillow
And I covered my head
But the band kept a playing
And shaking my bed


They played a honky tonk
All night long
It was honky tonk
The same old song

It was honky tonk
My money′s all gone
Honky tonk
She done me wrong

I tossed and I turned
And I couldn't go to sleep
The band kept a playing
With a honky tonk beat

They went
All night long
Honky tonk song
