(Verse I)
Who gets the honky tonk blues?
Folks in honky tonks do.
They lay out late at night.
They get into fights!
They do
(Chorus Refrain)
Get The Honky Tonk Blues.

(Verse II)
Who gets the honky tonk blues?
Folks in honky tonks do.
They feel it ain't goin' right.
Their dreams are out of sight.
They do
Get The Honky Tonk Blues.

(Bridge)
They wake up in the mornin',
with the same pain they had last night.
It echoes like a warning:
Don't do the same thing tonight!

(Verse III)
Who gets the honky tonk blues?
Folks in honky tonks do.
They lay out late at night.
They get into fights!
They do
Get The Honky Tonk Blues.
(Coda)
Get The Honky Tonk Blues.
Get The Honky Tonk Blues.

(I think it takes about one minute fifteen seconds to play. I wonder if short Songs like that could find a place on terrestrial radio. Back when the world was young Songs often came in at two minutes or a little less or more
I sang ad lib, "Who gets the honky tonk blues?" and asking that question was inspired to see where the Lyric/Melody might go. Rather than the usual "I've got the..." blues Line, the question seemed to have a different appeal, different approach.)
