Juke Box Blues

I walked into a honky-tonkey just the other day

I dropped a nickel in a jukebox just to hear it play

I didn't have no tune in mind, I didn't wait to choose

I just dropped a nickel in the slot

And I played the jukebox blues

There's a guy in there with an old tin horn

And a feller on an old banjo

And the man on the fiddle, he wasn't no slouch

He could really drag that bow

Well the man on the fiddle, he must've got tired

I didn't hear him say

'Cause he cut loose on the steel guitar

And the jukebox ran away

And I heard something going strong, it must have been a drum

It gave that song a solid beat, boy, it was going some

I walked into a honky-tonkey just the other day

I dropped a nickel in a jukebox just to hear it play

I didn't have no tune in mind, I didn't wait to choose

I just dropped a nickel in the slot

And I played the jukebox blues

I've played a lot of jukeboxes, most every one in town

That's the first tune I ever heard

That can make one night surround

Play the jukebox blues

Such a rhythm I've never heard

I danced out both of my shoes
