Honky Tonk Man:Johnny Horton.
#96 Rock & #11 Country in 1962.
CHORUS:
I`m a honky tonk man, and I can`t seem to stop.
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music
of an old jukebox.
But when my money`s all gone, I`m on the telephone,
callin` hey, hey, Mama, can your Daddy come home?
#1.
I`m living fast and dangerously but I`ve got plenty
of company.
When the moon comes up and the sun goes down,
that`s when I want to see the lights of town.
CHORUS:
I`m a honky tonk man, and I can`t seem to stop.
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music
of an old jukebox.
But when my money`s all gone, I`m on the telephone,
callin` hey, hey, Mama, can your Daddy come home?

#2.
It takes a pretty little gal and a jug of wine..
that`s what it takes to make a honky tonk mine.
With the jukebox a moanin` a honky tonk sound,
that`s when I wanna lay my money down.
CHORUS:
I`m a honky tonk man, and I can`t seem to stop.
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music
