Time out...this is where your screen turns red, green, yellow and black
Hold up...I'm 'bout to interrupt your regular scheduled broadcast
People always ask me where you learn to sing like that
People always ask me where you learn to pick six strings like that
Ask Hank if Mr. Tee Tot taught him how to yodel like this
Ask Elvis who'd he go watch down on Beale Street Memphis
And where'd they learn the lovesick blues
Tell you what you ought to do...Ask Hank
I cam into this world screaming Kaw-Liga out loud
Honky tonk living and river bank fishing are a family tradition, no doubt
People always ask me where you learn to sing like that
People always ask me where you learn to pick six strings like that
Ask Hank if Mr. Tee Tot taught him how to yodel like this
Ask Elvis who'd he go watch down on Beale Street Memphis
And where'd they learn the lovesick blues
Tell you what you ought to do...Ask Hank
Your cheating heart will tell on you
I was so lonesome I could cry, but I finally saw the light
Hey good lookin, whatcha got cookin
That's why I'm out here honky tonkin' honey baby
Ask Hank if Mr. Tee Tot taught him how to yodel like this
Ask Elvis who'd he go watch down on Beale Street Memphis
And where'd they learn the lovesick blues
Tell you what you ought to do
And where'd they learn the lovesick blues
Tell you what you ought to do...Ask Hank
And he'll tell you the truth
With just three chords and the blues
