(chorus)
I'm a honky tonk man, and I cain't seem to stop. I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox. But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone Callin' he-ey moma can you're daddy come home? I'm livin' fast and dangerously, but I've got plenty of company. When the moon comes up and the sun goes down That's when I wanna see the lights of town. chorusx2 It takes a purdy little gal and a jug of wine, That's what it takes to make a honky tonk mind. With the jukebox a moanin' a honky tonk sound That's when I wanna lay my money down. chorus |

The fiddles're squeekin' the guitars're speakin' the piano plays a jelly-roll
The man on the drum is out from dumb and the bassman he plays from his soul The tables're quakin' and your nerves're shakin' but you keep on beggin' for more You keep a havin' your fun you lucky son of a gun on a honky tonk hardwood floor On a honky tonk hardwood floor on a honky tonk hardwood floor You keep a havin' your fun you lucky son of a gun on a honky tonk hardwood floor [ guitar ] There's a waitress handy and she don't sell candy and she don't sell soda pop And there's a fat bartender who's there to serve you if you really wanna blow your top If you got no money then there's a little honey she's a thing that you adore You keep a havin' your fun you lucky son of a gun on a honky tonk hardwood floor On a honky tonk hardwood floor... [ piano ] Your payday's Saturday you're broke on Sunday come Monday you're feelin' saur You got big black eyes that you pick up from little from a little guy the night before So you swear off off to drinkin' but when you get to thinkin' Bout the goodtimes you had oh Lord So keep a havin' your fun you lucky son of a gun on a honky tonk hardwood floor On a honky tonk hardwood floor... |

Well, today I'm so weary.
Today I'm so blue. Sad and broken hearted, And it's all because of you. Life was so sweet dear, Life was a song. Now you've gone and left me, Oh, where do I belong? And it's all for the love of a dear little girl. All for the love that sets your heart in a whirl. I'm a man who'd give his life, And the joys of this world, All for the love of a girl. And it's all for the love of a dear little girl. All for the love that sets your heart in a whirl. I'm a man who'd give his life, And the joys of this world, All for the love of a girl. |

You fought all the way
Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb You fought all the way, Johnny Reb Saw you a-marchin' with Robert E. Lee You held your head high tryin' to win the victory You fought for your folks, but you didn't die in vain Even tho' you lost they speak highly of your name, 'cause You fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb You fought all the way, Johnny Reb I heard your teeth chatter from the cold outside Saw the bullets open up the wounds in your side I saw the young boys as they began to fall You had tears in your eyes 'cause you couldn't help at all, but You fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb You fought all the way, Johnny Reb I saw Gen'ral Lee raise a sabre in his hand Heard the cannons roar as you made your last stand You marched in the battle of the Grey and the Red When the cannon smoke cleared, took days to count the dead, 'cause You fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb You fought all the way, Johnny Reb When Honest Abe heard the news about your fall The folks thought he'd call a great vict'ry ball But he asked the band to play the song Dixie For you, Johnny Reb, and all that you believe You fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb Yeah, you fought all the way, Johnny Reb You fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb You fought all the way, Johnny Reb |

I mushed from Port Barren through a blizzard of snow
Been out prospecting for two years or so Pulled into Fairbanks the city was a boon So I took a little stroll to the Red Dog Saloon As I walked in the door the music was clear The prettiest voice I had heard in two years The song she was singin' made a man's blood run cold When it's springtime in Alaska it's forty below (When it's springtime in Alaska it's forty below) It was red headed Lil who was singin' so sweet I reached down and took the snowpacks off my feet I reached for the gal who was singin' the tune We did the Escimo hop all around the saloon Where the cariboo crawl and the grizzly bear hug we did our dance on a Kodiac rug The song she kept singing made a man's blood run cold When it's springtime in Alaska it's forty below [ banjo ] I was as innocent as I could be I didn't know Lil was big Ed's wife to be He took out his knife and he gave it a throw When it's springtime in Alaska I'll be six feet below (When it's springtime in Alaska he'll be six feet below) |

In May of 1941 the war had just begun
The Germans had the biggest ship that had the biggest guns The Bismarck was the fastest ship that ever sailed the sea On her decks were guns as big as steers and shells as big as trees Out of the cold and foggy night came the British ship the Hood And every British seaman he knew and understood They had to sink the Bismarck the terror of the sea Stop those guns as big as steers and those shells as big as trees We'll find the German battleship that's makin' such a fuss We gotta sink the Bismarck cause the world depends on us Yeah hit the decks a runnin' boys and spin those guns around When we find the Bismarck we gotta cut her down [ ac.guitar ] The Hood found the Bismarck and on that fatal day The Bismarck started firing fifteen miles away We gotta sink the Bismarck was the battle sound But when the smoke had cleared away the mighty Hood went down For six long days and weary nights they tried to find her trail Churchill told the people put every ship asail Cause somewhere on that ocean I know she's gotta be We gotta sink the Bismarck to the bottom of the sea We'll find the German battleship... [ ac.guitar ] The fog was gone the seventh day and they saw the morning sun Ten hours away from homeland the Bismarck made its run The Admiral of the British fleet said turn those bows around We found that German battleship and we're gonna cut her down The British guns were aimed and the shells were coming fast The first shell hit the Bismarck they knew she couldn't last That mighty German battleship is just a memory Sink the Bismarck was the battle cry that shook the seven seas We found the German battleship t'was makin' such a fuss We had to sink the Bismarck cause the world depends on us We hit the deck a runnin' and we and spun those guns around Yeah we found the mighty Bismarck and then we cut her down We found the German battleship... |

The snowflakes fall as winter calls and time just seems to fly
Is it the loneliness in me that makes me want to cry My heart is sad like a morning dove that's lost its mate in flight Hear the cooing of his lonely heart through the stillness of the night Whispering pines whispering pines tell me is it so Whispering pines whispering pines you're the one who knows My darling's gone oh she's gone and I need your sympathy Whispering pines send my baby back to me [ guitar ] See that squirrel up in the tree his mate there on the ground Hear their barking call of love of the happiness they found Is my love still my love oh this I gotta know Send a mesaage by the wind because I love her so Whispering pines... |
