| When I first heard the sound, I was a child
|
| Beat of the drum likes to drive me wild
|
| Sound was a-comin across the track
|
| Went on over and I never came back
|
| Well the preacher taught him, daddy taught me
|
| Singin the blues in a honky-tonk key
|
| Well, I turn up the singer on a sad song
|
| Guitar mans got a Beale Street tone
|
| Girls up front baby, all night long
|
| Oh what a night to come home alone
|
| Well the preacher taught him, daddy taught me
|
| Singin the blues in a honky-tonk key
|
| Well the preacher taught him, daddy taught me
|
| Singin the blues in a honky-tonk key
|
| Well the preacher taught him, daddy taught me
|
| Singin the blues in a honky-tonk key |
