If you go down to the bottom better watch the way you act
If you fool around them honkies you will never make it back
When you get in trouble the best you can do is lose
For them honky tonky mama's they'll give you the honky blues
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 and brand new padded shoes
For them honky tonky mama's they had them honky blues
I drank a half of pint a liquor and a half a pint of gin
Saw my honky tonky mama foolin' around some other men
Really felt mistreated, my baby I was about to lose
Got jealous of my baby, I had them old honky tonky blues, sure did
She's a honky tonky mama, got her honky tonky way's
She got me in trouble now I'm servin day's
Big policmen got me would not turn me lose
Took me down to the station locked me in the county blues
Good mornin' judge
When I go back to the bottom gonna watch my P's and Q's
Or them honky tonky mama's will be givin' me the blues
Gonna have protection, I think I have paid my dues
I'll find me a honky tonky mama
And give her back these old honky tonky blues
I'll find me a honky tonky mama
And give her these old honky tonky blues
I'll find me a honky tonky mama
And give her these old honky tonky blues
