Burn The Honky Tonk Down

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I work on the mountain cutting the timber

I work till my fingers are sore

Cutting the timber, goes through the saw mill

To build another honky tonk bar

While down in the valley she's spending my money

Having herself quit a ball

Spending my money I earn at the sawmill

To build another honky tonk bar

Early each morning I'm back on that mountain

Wishing her lies were the truth

Cutting the tiber that goes through the sawmill

To build another honky tonk bar

But tonight's all over

I'm through cutting the timber

I know right where she'll be found

I look through the window

And if she's still in there

I'm gonna burn a honky tonk down

Yes tonight's all over

I'm through cutting the timber

I know right where she'll be found

I'll look through the window

And if she's still in there

I'm gonna burn another honky tonk down

I'll look through the window

And if she's still in there

I'm gonna burn another honky tonk down
