Carl Perkins 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
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
Guitar break
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
Guitar break
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
