Koko Taylor - Honkey Tonkey Lyrics

Koko Taylor Lyrics

"Honkey Tonkey"

I got me a room in a cheap hotel
My head was spinning and I didn't feel well
I laid right down and I tried to go to sleep
But the band kept playin' in a joint underneath
So I picked up my pillow and covered up my head
But the band kept playin' and shakin' my bed

Honkey tonk
All night long
Honkey tonk
Same ol' song
Honkey tonk
My money's all gone
Honkey tonk
You done me wrong
I tossed and turned and I couldn't go to sleep
And the band kept playin' that honkey tonk beat

I turned off the lights 'bout half past three
I heard someone yellin', "don't you do that to me"
I picked up my suitcase and started off slow
My heart was willing but my head said "no"
I don't know why it had to happen to me
But the band kept playin' that honkey tonk beat

Honkey tonk
All night long
Honkey tonk
Same ol' song
Honkey tonk
My money's all gone
Honkey tonk
You done me wrong
I tossed and turned and I couldn't go to sleep
But the band kept playin' that honkey tonk beat
