Hunkie Tunkie Blues
 

Baby I'm going uptown : tell the chief police

My woman quit me : I can't see no peace

She keep me worried : bothered all the time

Well I love you woman : love your husband too

I have to love your husband : to get to be with you

Because he don't allow : no man around his house

My mama told me : my papa too

Don't let no woman : be the death of you

She don't allow me : to stay out all night long

What you going to do : when they tear your barrelhouse down

Going to pack my suitcase : hunt some other town

Well they say everybody talking : about your honky‑tonky blues

Well they say everybody talking : about your honky‑tonky baby

You ought to see : that curly‑headed monkey‑head

Head is curly : baby and bushy too
