Honky Tonk Man - Johnny Horton

Well, I'm a honky-tonk man, and I can't seem to stop Love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox And when my money's all gone I'm on the telephone Saying, hey, mamma, can your daddy come home? Well, I'm livin' wild and dangerously And I've got plenty of company The moon comes up and the sun goes down And I can't wait to see the lights of town 'Cause I'm a honky-tonk man, and I can't seem to stop Love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox And when my money's all gone I'm on the telephone Saying, hey, mamma, can your daddy come home? Well, I'm a honky-tonk man, and I can't seem to stop Love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox And when my money's all gone I'm on the telephone Saying, hey, mamma, can your daddy come home? Well, now, a pretty little girl and a jug of wine That's what it takes to make a honky-tonk time With the jukebox a-moanin' a honky-tonk sound And I can't wait to lay my money down 'Cause I'm a honky-tonk man, and I can't seem to stop Love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox And when my money's all gone I'm on the telephone Saying, hey, mamma, can your daddy come home? Well, I'm a honky-tonk man, and I can't seem to stop Love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox And when my money's all gone I'm on the telephone Saying, hey, mamma, can your daddy come home?

The snowflakes fall as winter calls and time just seems to fly Is it the loneliness in me that makes me want to cry My heart is sad like a morning dove that's lost its mate in flight Hear the cooing of his lonely heart through the stillness of the night Whispering pines whispering pines tell me is it so Whispering pines whispering pines you're the one who knows My darling's gone oh she's gone and I need your sympathy Whispering pines send my baby back to me See that squirrel up in the tree his mate there on the ground Hear their barking call of love of the happiness they found Is my love still my love oh this I gotta know Send a mesaage by the wind because I love her so Whispering pines whispering pines tell me is it so Whispering pines whispering pines you're the one who knows My darling's gone oh she's gone and I need your sympathy Whispering pines send my baby back to me
