Honky Tonk Gal
Composer(s): Carl Perkins
Performer(s): The Million Dollar Quartet;
and various other artists
It took a light from a honky-tonk
Put the beam in your eye
It took a record from a jukebox
And it bid my gal goodbye
And now she's gone, honky-tonk gal
Oh, she said she didn't love me
She didn't care no more
She'd rather spend her life now
On a honky-tonk hardwood floor
But I'll be gone, honky-tonk gal
Someday you'll come back cryin'
Someday you will be blue
And that mean ol' honky-tonkin' life
Will get the best off you
But I'll be gone, honky-tonk gal
Lord, I stand right up and tell you
I sit right down and cry
Sweetheart if you should leave me now
I know I'll lay and die
And I'll be gone, honky-tonk gal
It took a light from a honky-tonk
Put the beam in your eye
It took a record from a jukebox
And it bid my gal goodbye
And now she's gone, honky-tonk gal
La, da, dee, la, da, do, La, da, dee, la, da, do
La, da, dee, la, da, do, La, da, dee, la, da, do
You'd rather spend your life
On a honky-tonk hardwood floor
But I'll be gone, honky-tonk gal
