#1.
I keep the radio on most all night long and
listen to the songs they play.
Sometimes I hum, tap along with my thumb, listen
to the words they say.
And I have to admit those yesterday hits take
me back a year or two.
I get those 1953 Dear John Honky Tonk Blues for you.
Get those 1953 Dear John Honky Tonk Blues.
CHORUS:
And I need help when I hear 'No Help Wanted,'
rememberin' where we first heard 'Lovesick Blues.'
Old songs make me wonder what you're doing.
I get those 1953 Dear John Honky Tonk Blues.
#2.
Gonna play this song for Rollin' John's 'The Wild Side
Of Life.'
It's Rolly Polly, a golden oldie, for Carl and his brand
new wife.
Well, it makes me feel sad but it ain't half bad remembering
the things I do.
I get those 1953, 'Hey Joe,' 'Hop A Bop Blues' for you.
Get those 1953 'Hey Joe,' 'Hop A Bop Blues.'
CHORUS:
And I need help when I hear 'No Help Wanted,'
rememberin' where we first heard 'Lovesick Blues.'
Old songs make me wonder what you're doing.
I get those 1953 Dear John Honky Tonk Blues, for you.
I get those 1953 Dear John Honky Tonk Blues.
A seventies smash from Kraziekhat.
