Honky Tonkin' Fool

Red hung out at the point of tears He was a honky tonkin' fool Ever since they brought that jukebox here Back in 1952 He was the first to drop a nickel in When he danced with his first wife By '61 his wife was gone But that jukebox had survived It was three plays for a quarter I turned on enough to go Red showed me that ol' Wurlitzer And said, "Son, I want you to know If you ever come up to be short Just kick it on the side" Would you do this honky tonkin' fool One favor when I die Roll away my tombstone Put this jukebox in its place Make damned sure 'Your Cheatin' Heart' Is the only song it plays I don't need no stone with fancy words This jukebox [unverified] cool As a perfect final tribute to a honky tonkin' fool When we heard the news, me and Mr. Hughes Put that jukebox in my truck And hauled it on down to the place That ol' Red had hung it up And, I ran a short extension cord From the old caretaker's shed I kicked the side, played 'Your Cheatin' Heart' Looked down at Red and said Red I rolled away your tombstone Put this jukebox in its place And I made damned sure 'Your Cheatin' Heart' Is the only song it plays You were right about that tombstone, Red This jukebox [unverified] cool As a perfect final tribute to a honky tonkin' fool It's the perfect final tribute to a honky tonkin' fool
