Honky Tonk Man Johnny Horton 1956 | (Chicago Country 37) Bob Poyner |
OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face grand square
I'm a honky tonky man and I can't seem to stop
I love to give the girls a whirl
To the music of an old juke box
Left allemande and you weave
When my money's all gone I am gonna telephone, singing
Swing your mama and promenade home
Singing hey, hey mama, can your daddy come home?
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Heads square thru 4 hands
Dosado, swing thru, boys run
Tag the line all the way, cloverleaf
Girls square thru 3/4, swing your corner lady
Promenade her down
*The moon comes up and that sun goes down
And I can't wait till I see the lights of town
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*Hey, pretty girl, and a jug of wine
So that's what it takes to make a honky tonk time
*Hey, a juke box knows only a honky tonk sound
Well I can't wait to lay my money down
*I live wild and dangerously
I've got plenty of company
TAG
Swing your lady singing
Hey, hey mama, hey, hey mama
Hey, hey mama, can your daddy come home?
