Honky Tonk Man lyrics by Johnny Horton

I'm a honky tonk 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
Hollering, Hey hey, mama,
can your daddy come home?

I'm living fast and dangerously
but I've got plenty of company
When the moon comes up
and the sun goes down
That's when I want
to see the lights uptown

'cause I'm a honky tonk 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
Hollering, Hey hey, mama,
can your daddy come home?


I'm a honky tonk 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
Hollering, 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 honky tonk mind
With the jukebox a moaning
a honky tonk sound
That's when I want
to lay my money down

'cause I'm a honky tonk 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
Hollering, Hey hey, mama,
can your daddy come home?
