MY BABY DONE LEFT ME

(Jon Roberts - Bobbie Carroll)
 

I go 'round honky tonkin' almost every night
I keep on honky tonkin' till I'm feelin' just right
My baby done left me
Ain't that a cryin' shame
My bay done left me
I don't know who's to blame
My baby done left me
To honky tonk my blues away

 

I'm a-sittin' in the corner tryin' to drown my woes
When passin' by my corner a doll in tight fittin' clothes
Here comes my baby
a-swishin' right on by
There goes my baby
And now I wanna cry
My baby done left me
To honky tonk my blues away
 

Oh I'm going honky tonkin', gonna ease my blues
I'm going honky tonkin', shed the lead in my shoes
Going honky tonkin', getting as high as a kite
Going honky tonkin', till I'm feeling just right
My baby done left me
To booze my blues away
 

When I wake up I guess I'll be a sorry sight
I guess I'll have more blues than I been having tonight
My baby done left me
Oh my aching head
My baby done left me
I gotta find my bed
My baby done left me
To honky tonk my blues away
 

Oh I'm going honky tonkin', gonna ease my blues
I'm going honky tonkin', shed the lead in my shoes
Going honky tonkin', getting as high as a kite
Going honky tonkin', till I'm feeling just right
My baby done left me
To booze my blues away
