When you are sad and lonely and ain't no place to go

Come to see me baby and bring along some dough

And we'll go honky tonkin' honky tonkin' honky tonkin' honey baby

We'll go honky tonkin' round the town

[ guitar ]

When you and your baby have a falling out

Call me up sweet papa and we'll go steppin' out

And we'll go honky tonkin'...

[ guitar ]

Well I'm going to the city to the city fair

If you go to the city baby you will find me there

And we'll go honky tonkin'...

[ guitar ]

When you and your baby have a falling out...
