HONKY TONK SONG
(Mel Tillis - Buck Peddy)
WEBB PIERCE (DECCA 9-30255, 1957)
I got me a room in a cheap hotel
My head was a spinin' and I didn't feel well
I laid right down and tried to goto sleep
A band kept a playin in the joint underneath
I picked up my pillow and I covered up my head
But the band kept a playin' and shakin' my bed
Honky tonk, all night long
Honky tonk, the same old song
Honky tonk, my money's all gone
Honky tonk, she done me wrong
I turned and I tossed and I couldn't goto sleep
'Cause the band keeps a playin' with a honky tonk
Beat...
Well I'm so blue, my baby's gone
She took all my money and left me all alone
I'm tryin' to forget her but I don't know what to do
The honky tonk song keeps a leakin' through
I picked up my pillow and I covered up my head
But the band keeps a playin' and shakin' my bed
Honky tonk, all night long
Honky tonk, the same old song
Honky tonk, my money's all gone
Honky tonk, she done me wrong
I turned and I tossed and I couldn't goto sleep
'Cause the band keeps a playin' with a honky tonk

Chet Atkins said the HIS swimming pool was shaped like a guitar amplifier....heh heh.

He was a great star and singer, but he had a lot of help from Mel Tillis.

Honky Tonk all night long sounds like heaven to me...

It just doesn't get any better than the old honky tonk music of the fifties. I never get tired of hearing it.

@TheHighflyer88 Don't be a jerk no need for that i just don't listen to much honky tonk music i usually listen to more western music so have a little respect

@mattybock you were right about hank williams i went and listened to all my cd's of him and when you get right down to it he was one of the founding fathers of honky tonk
