Don't you cry __ don't you moan
G7C7
Hang your head down all night long
GD7C7
That ole feeling sure ain't nothing new
GD7
It's in your walk, it's in your talk
G7C7
There's only one way to shake it off,

You got to get to it before it gets to you
DG
So Put a quarter in that jukebox, let it drop

There's only one thing I've found

On a honky tonk side of town

You gotta slip, you gotta slide
G7C7
There're gonna try to nail your hide
GDGC7
Yeah, they'll put a hurting on you, given half a chance

Well, you can walk that walk

And talk that talk, and boogie till you shake it off

No the blues can't do no business
G7C7
The blues can't do no business
G
The blues can't do no business
D7G7
On the honky tonk side of town
