I walked into a honkey tonkey just the other day I droped a nickle in the juke box just to hear it play I didnt have no tune in mind, I didnt wait to choose Just droped a nickle in the slot and I played the juke box blues Theres a guy in there with an old tin horn And a feller on an old banjo, and the man of the fiddle He wasn't no slouch he could really drag that bow Well, the man on the fiddle he must have got tired I didnt hear him say, 'cause he cut loose on the steel guitar And the juke box ran away And I've herd something going strong It must have been a drum It gave that song a solid beat Boy it was goin' some I walked into a honkey tonkey just the other day I droped a nickle in the juke box just to hear it play I didnt have no tune in mind, I didnt wait to choose Just droped a nickle in the slot and I played the juke box blues I've played alot of juke boxes, most everyone in town That's the first tune I've ever heard That can make one night surround Play the juke box blues, such a rythum I've never heard I danced out both of my shoes
