Richard Thompson - Honky Tonk Blues Lyrics
Well I left my home down on the rural route
I told my paw I'm going steppin out and get the
Honky tonk blues
Yeah the honky tonk blues
Well lord I got 'em
Well I went to a dance and I wore out my shoes
Woke up this mornin wishin I could lose
Them jumpin' honky tonk blues
Yeah the honky tonk blues
Well lord I got 'em
I got the honky tonk blues
Well I stopped into every place in town
This city life has really got me down
Yeah the honky tonk blues
Well lord I got em
Got the honky tonk blues
I'm gonna tuck my worries underneath my arm
And scat right back to my pappy's farm
And leave these honky tonk blues
Yeah the honky tonk blues
Well lord I got 'em
I got the honky tonk blues

Richard Thompson Honky Tonk Blues Comments
Think I'll just stick to, Michael Row the boat ashore.
Richard Thompson is a treasure!!
That guitar sounds phenomenal
Now that's how to play an Hank Song
I just love this.
I like this, but Hank Williams owns this song for eternity
lesson please please
It's in G - DGDGBD
He mainly plays in dadgad from what I've gathered. In this he's dropping the 5th A to a G and the 2nd A up to a B
@mink61 and as for the "synthesizer" comment... When did I ever mention them? Or is that what you think the "brave new world" of music is? You do realize that synthesizers and sonic art have been around since the late 19th century? So technically an "erbert" standing around a synthesizer is as much of a traditional artist as the bluesman hacking his way through the repetoires of dead men.
@mink61 RT has never become "unstuck". No artist is truly in a brave new world. They are always interpreting to varying degrees the work that came before them. What I have a problem with is when people think that a style can and should be mastered. Nothing is ever mastered. RT has always interpreted traditional styles without forsaking his own vision. He's blurred the line between the work of others and his own. That's as close to originality as anyone will ever get...
@torohec I believe its in the key of G.
He tunes the low E string to a G I think...
Hank Sr. is looking down and grinning from ear to ear. Awesome!
who mentioned John Hurt? He's planted in a pine box, if we listened to "originals" music would never progress. What's there to master anyway? MJH was an amazing stylist, but was not as polished as RT is. He can play anything.
what key is this in?
VERY COOL!
Before this I would have said that you have to be American to sing Hank.
Best version award!!!! What tuning is being used here? Thanks.
Absolutely amazing
one of the greatest guitar player of the universe!
Sheesh - he almost makes a 6-string sound like a 12-string!
