Johnny Horton's Greatest Hits



transcribed by Awcantor@aol.com



I'm a honkytonk man and I can't seem to stop

I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox

But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone

Hollerin, "Hey-hey, mama can your daddy come home?"



I'm livin' fast an' a-dangerously

But I've got plenty of company

When the moon comes up and the sun goes down

That's when I wanna see the lights of town



'Cause I'm a honkytonk man and I can't seem to stop

I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox

But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone

Hollerin', "Hey-hey, mama can your daddy come home?"







I'm a honkytonk man and I can't seem to stop

I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox

But when my money's all gone I'm on the telephone

Hollerin', "Hey-hey, mama can your daddy come home?"



It takes a pretty little gal and a jug of wine

That's what it takes to make a honkytonk, mine

With the juke box a-moanin', a honkytonk sound

That's when I wanna lay my money down



'Cause I'm a honkytonk man and I can't seem to stop

I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox

But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone

Hollerin', "Hey-hey, mama can your daddy come home?"
