Honky tonkin'
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.
Well if your baby leaves you,
And you got no place to go,
Come and see me darlin',
And bring along some dough.
(Chorus)
And we'll go honky tonkin, honky tonkin
Honky tonkin, honky tonkin
We'll go honkin tonkin 'round this town.
If you and your old man,
Have a fallin' out,
Well you come and see me darlin,
And we'll go steppin' out.
(chorus)
I'm headin' out to the city,
To the city fair,
If you wanna do the boogie babe,
You can meet me there.
(chorus) x2
