Well I left my home down on the rural route
  I told my paw I'm going steppin out and get the
  Honky tonk blues,
  Yeah the honky tonk blues
  Well lord I got 'em,
  I got the ho-on-ky tonk blues.
  
  Well I went to a dance and I wore out my shoes
  woke up this mornin wishin I could lose
  them jumpin honky tonk blues,
  Yeah the honky tonk blues
  Well lord I got 'em,
  I got the ho-on-ky tonk blues.
  
  Solo
  
  Well I stopped into every place in town
  this city life has really got me down
  I got the honky tonk blues,
  Yeah the honky tonk blues
  Well lord I got em,
  got the ho-on-ky tonk blues.
  
  I'm gonna tuck my worries underneath my arm
  And scat right back to my pappy's farm
  And leave these honky tonk blues,
  Yeah the honky tonk blues
  Well lord I got 'em,
  I got the ho-on-ky tonk blues.
  
  unrecorded last verse (from KPFA, ~1993)
  
  When I get home to my Ma and Pa,
  I know they're gonna lay down the law.
  About the honky tonk blues,
  Them jumpin' honkty tonk blues.
  Lord I'm suffrin' with the honky tonk blues
