They took a light from a honky tonk, put the
gleam in your eye.
They took a record from the jukebox and they
bid my gal goodbye.
And now she's gone, honky tonk gal.
#2.
Oh, she said she didn't love me, she didn't care
no more.
She'd rather spend her life on a honky tonk hardwood
floor.
But I'll be gone, honky tonk gal.
#3.
Someday you'll come back crying, someday you will
be blue.
And that mean old honky tonkin' life'll get the
best of you.
But I'll be gone, honky tonk gal.
#4.
Lord, I'll stand right up and tell you, I'll sit
right down and cry.
Sweetheart, if you should leave me now, I'll know
I'd lay and die.
But I'll be gone, honky tonk gal.
#5.
They took a light from a honky tonk, put the
gleam in your eye.
They took a record from the jukebox and they
bid my gal goodbye.
And now she's gone, honky tonk gal.
Ha-da-a-la-deet-da-da-da-da ha-da-a-la-deet-ha-
da-ho
You'd rather spend your life on a honky tonk hardwood
floor.
But I'll be gone, honky tonk gal.
