Hank Williams Honky Tonkin' Lyrics
1.Baby We're Really In Love

Recorded:hank williams, sr.
Writer:hank williams, sr.

If you're happy with me like i'm happy with you
If you're thinkin' of me like i'm thinkin' of you
If you're lovin' me like i'm lovin' you

If you're lovin' me like i'm lovin' you

If you're lovin' me like i'm lovin' you
Baby, we're really in love.
If you're countin' on me like i'm countin' on you
Old cupid just gave us a shove
If you're dreamin' of me like i'm dreamin' of you
Then i know what you're dreamin' of
If you're lovin' me like i'm lovin' you
Baby, we're really in love.

My folks think i've gone crazy
And i don't feel too sure
And yet there's nothin' wrong with me
That weddin' bells won't cure
If you go for me like i go for you
Baby, we fit like a glove
If you're lovin' me like i'm lovin' you
Baby, we're really in love.


2.Honky Tonkin'

Words:hank williams, sr.
Music:hank williams, sr.

Call me up, sweet baby, and bring along some dough
And we'll go honky tonkin', honky tonkin'
Honky tonkin', honey baby

When you and your baby have a fallin' out
Just call me up sweet mama and we'll go steppin' out
And we'll go honky tonkin', honky tonkin'
Honky tonkin', honey baby
We'll go honky tonkin' 'round this town.

We're goin' to the city - to the city fair
If you go to the city then you will find me there
And we'll go honky tonkin', honky tonkin'
Honky tonkin', honey baby
We'll go honky tonkin' 'round this town.

Repeat first verse


3.Honky Tonk Blues

I told my paw iâm going steppin out and get the

îell i went to a dance and i wore out my shoes
Woke up this mornin wishin i could lose


This city life has really got me down

And scat right back to my pappyâs farm


4.Howlin' At The Moon

Words:hank williams, sr.
Music:hank williams, sr.


Well, (*sug), i took one look at you and it almost drove me mad
And then i even went and lost what little sense i had
Now i can't tell the day from night, i'm crazy as a loon
You got me chasin' rabbits, pullin' out my hair and howlin' at
the moon.

Some friends of mine asked me to go out on a huntin' spree
'cause there ain't a hound dog in this state that can hold a
light to me
I eat three bones for dinner today, then tried to tree a 'coon
You got me chasin' rabbits, scratchin' fleas and howlin' at the
moon.

I rode my horse to town to day and a gas pump we did pass
I pulled 'im up and i hollered whoa!, said fill 'im up with gas
The man picked up a monkey wrench and wham!, he changed my tune
You got me chasin' rabbits, spittin' out teeth and howlin' at
the moon.

I never thought in this old world a fool could fall so hard
But honey baby, when i fell the whole world must have jarred
I think i'd quit my doggish ways if you'd take me for your groom
You got me chasin rabbits, pickin' out rings and howlin' at the
moon


5.I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive

Recorded:hank williams
Written:hank williams and fred rose

Capo:1st fret key:f# play:f
I had lot's of luck but it's all been bad

My fishin' pole's broke the creek is full of sand
My woman run away with another man
No matter how i struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive.


Ev'rything's agin' me and it's got me down
If i jumped in the river i would prob'ly drown
No matter how i struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive.

These shabby shoes i'm wearin' all the time
Are full of holes and nails
And brother if i stepped on a worn out dime
I bet a nickel i could tell you if it was heads or tails.

I'm not gonna worry wrinkles in my brow
'cause nothin's ever gonna be alright nohow
No matter how i struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive.

(additional verses)
I could buy a sunday suit and it would leave me broke
If it had two pair of pants i would burn the coat
No matter how i struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive.

If it was rainin' gold i wouldn't stand a chance
I wouldn't have a pocket in my patched up pants
No matter how i struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive.


6.I Ain't Got Nothin' But Time


7.I Won't Be Home No More

Written:hank williams (sr.)
recorded:hank williams (sr.)

Capo on 1st fret.
I tried to but i couldn't wait
You're just in time to miss the boat
So don't take off your hat and coat

1st bridge

And waited for your call
And hung a sign on my front gate

Well, you're just in time to turn around
And drive your buggy back to town
You looked me up i turned you down
And i won't be home no more
You're just in time to change your tune
Go tell your troubles to the moon
And call around next may or june
'cause i won't be home no more.

2nd bridge

I used to be the patient kind
Believed each alibi
But that's all done, i 've changed my mind
I 've got new fish to fry
Well, you're just in time to celebrate
The things you didn't calculate
You're just in time to be too late
And i won't be home no more.

9.Mind Your Own Business

Words:hank williams, sr.
Music:hank williams, sr.


Oh, the woman on our party line's the nosiest thing
She picks up her receiver when she knows it's my ring
Why don't you mind your own business
(mind your own business)
Well, if mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine.

If my woman stay out 'til two or three
Now, brother that's my headache, don't you worry 'bout me.
Just mind your own business
(mind your own business)
If mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine.

If i get my head beat black and blue
Now that's my wife and my stove wood too
Just mind your own business
(mind your own business)
If mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine.

I got a little gal that wears her hair up high,
The boys all whistel when she walks bye.
Mind your own buisness blah blah, you sure won't be minding
mine.

Mindin' other people's business seems to be high-toned
I got all that i can do just to mind my own
Why don't you mind your own business
(mind your own business)
If you mind your own business, you'll stay busy all the time.

11.Rootie Tootie

Recorded:hank williams, sr.
Written:fred rose

And her name is kathy mae

Feelin' dandy, doin' swell
My gal is the village bell
Hotsy-totsy (rootie tootie)
Super-duper (rootie tootie)
Rootie tootie, she's my monday gal.

You should see the people stare
When we walk around the square
Bouncy-bouncy, (rootie tootie)
Upsy-daisy, (rootie tootie)
Rootie tootie, she's my tuesday gal.

I'm not jealous, no siree
Just as long as she's with me
Wicky-wacky, (rootie tootie)
Humpty-dumpty, (rootie tootie)
Rootie tootie, she's my wednesday gal.

She's got 'purty' eyes of blue
And she thinks i'm 'purty', too
Tootsie-wootsie, (rootie tootie)
Hunky-dory, (rootie tootie)
Rootie tootie, she's my thursday gal.

Gonna make that lady mine
When she signs that dotted line
Hinky-dinky, (rootie tootie)
Yipsy-doodle, (rootie tootie)
Rootie tootie, she's my friday gal.


12.You Better Keep It On Your Mind

Now if (e)you go out and start a playing around
Your baby's gonna tear your playhouse down
You better (a)keep it on your mind (all the time)
You better keep it on your (e)mind (all the time)
You'll be (b7)moanin' and a groanin', lord you better keep it on
your (e)mind

Now wrong is wrong and right is right
If you make a snake mad he's sure gonna bite
You better keep it on your mind (all the time)
You better keep it on your mind (all the time)
I've had it proven to me, lord you better keep it on your mind

Every fuss with a woman has got the same ole end
I don't believe the good lord meant for a man to win
You better keep it on your mind (all the time)
You better keep it on your mind (all the time)
You'll be singing blue and lonesome, lord you better keep it on
your mind

If you make your baby mad and she says goodbye
There ain't a thing you can do but sit at home and cry
You better keep it on your mind (all the time)
You better keep it on your mind (all the time)
You better call her sweet mama, lord you better keep it on your
mind

If the judge says pay her forty dollars a week
You'll dig up the money or you'll work the streets
You better keep it on your mind (all the time)
You better keep it on your mind (all the time)
When you're wearing striped britches, son it's gonna stay on
your mind

So kiss her every mornin' and love her every night
Boy you can't win no matter if you're right
You better keep it on your mind (all the time)
You better keep it on your mind (all the time)
You better heed this warning, lord you better keep it on your
mind
