Merle Haggard - Honky Tonky Mama lyrics

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 moma'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 moma'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 moma And give her back these old honky tonky blues. I'll find me a honky tonky moma And give her these old honky tonky blues. I'll find me a honky tonky moma And give her these old honky tonky blues...
