Well I remember the sound
I was a child
Beat of the drum
Like to drive me wild
Sound was a commin' from
Across the track
Went off over
And I never came back
Yeah the preacher taught him
Daddy taught me
Singing all the blues
In a honky tonk key
Well I turn up the singer
On a sad song
Guitar man's got a Beale Street tone
Girls up front baby all night long
Oh what a night to come home alone
Yeah the preacher taught him
Daddy taught me
Singing all the blues
In a honky tonk key
Yeah the preacher taught him
Daddy taught me
Singing all the blues
In a honky tonk key
The preacher taught him
Daddy taught me
Singing all the blues
In a honky tonk key
