*********************************************************************
C
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.
F C
When you get in troubly the best you can do is lose,
G C
Or them honky tonky moma's they'll give you the honky blues.
C
I went down to the bottom just a week ago today,
Met a honky tonky baby and I couldn't get away.
F C
Lost all my money and brand new padded shoes,
G C
For them honky tonky moma's they had them honky tonk blues.
C
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.
F C
Really felt mistreated my baby I was about to lose,
G C
Got jealous of my baby I had them old honky tonky blues. (Sure Did)
Instrumentals
C
She's a honky tonky mama got her honky tonky way's,
She got me in trouble now I'm servin day's.
F C
Big policmen got me would not turn me lose,
G C
Took me down to the station locked me in the county blues. (Good Mornin Judge)
C
When I go back to the bottom gonna watch my p's and q's,
Or them honky tonky mama's wil be givin me the blues.
F C
Gonna have protection I think I have paid my dues,
G C
I'll find me a honky tonky moma and give her back theses old honky tonky blues.
(Repeat last line 2x)
I kinda do my own things on songs and on this song if you want to
spice it up a little play the bass strings back and forth. Also
I put in little fills like to go from one chord to the next. You
can look in lessons for axehappy's fills and use them for help.
