Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
And I heard something going strong, it must have been a drum
It gave that song a solid beat, boy, it was going some
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
