Lyrics
I walked into a honky-tonky just the other day
I dropped a nickel in the juke box just to hear it play
I didn't have no tune in mind, I didn't wait to choose
Just dropped a nickel in the slot and I played the juke box blues
There's a guy in there with an old tin horn and a feller on an old banjo
And the man of the fiddle, he wasn't no slouch, he could really drag that bow
Well, the man on the fiddle, he must have got tired, I didn't hear him say
'Cause he cut loose on the steel guitar and the juke box ran away
And I've heard something going strong, it must have been a drum
It gave that song a solid beat, boy, it was goin' some
I walked into a honky-tonky just the other day
I dropped a nickel in the juke box just to hear it play
I didn't have no tune in mind, I didn't wait to choose
Just dropped a nickel in the slot and I played the juke box blues
I've played a lot of juke boxes, most every one in town
That's the first tune I ever heard
That can make one night surround
Play the juke box blues, such a rhythm I've never heard
I danced out both of my shoes
