Honky Tronk Gal - Carl Perkins

They took a light from a honky tonk

Put the gleam in your eye

They took a record from the jukebox

And they bid my gal goodbye

And now she’s gone, honky tonk gal

Oh, she said she didn’t love me

She didn’t care no more

She’d rather spend her life

On a honky tonk hardwood floor

But I’ll be gone, honky tonk gal

Someday you’ll come back crying

Someday you will be blue

And that mean old honky tonkin'

Life’ll get the beat of you

But I’ll be gone, honky tonk gal

Lord, I’ll stand right up and tell you

I’ll sit right down and cry

Sweetheart, if you should leave me now

I’ll know I’d lay and die

But now she’s gone, honky tonk gal

They took a light from a honky tonk

Put the gleam in your eye

They took a record from the jukebox

And they bid my gal goodbye

And now she’s gone, honky tonk gal

You’d rather spend your life

On a honky tonk hardwood floor

But I’ll be gone, honky tonk gal
