Don't you cry __ don't you moan

Hang your head down all night long

That ole feeling sure ain't nothing new

It's in your walkit's in your talk

There's only one way to shake it off

You got to get to it before it gets to you

So put a quarter in that jukeboxlet it drop

Put another one inplay it againdon't let it stop

There's only one thing I've found

That'll turn it all around

The blues can't do no business

On a honky tonk side of town

You gotta slipyou gotta slide

There're gonna try to nail your hide



Yeahthey'll put a hurting on yougiven half a chance

So get mean and get slick

You gotta pull out every trick

Cause everybody knows the blues don't like to dance

To chorus:



Wellyou can walk that walk

And talk that talkand boogie till you shake it off

No the blues can't do no business

The blues can't do no business

The blues can't do no business

On the honky tonk side of town
