Johnny Horton Songs
Honky Tonk Man
I'm a honky tonk man ... and I can't seem to stop
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox
But when my money's all gone I'm on the telephone
Saying hey hey mama can your daddy come home
I'm living fast and a dangerously ... but I've got plenty of company
When the moon comes up and the sun goes down
That's when I want to see the lights uptown
Cause I'm a honky tonk man ... and I can't seem to stop
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox
But when my money's all gone I'm on the telephone
Saying hey hey mama can your daddy come home
BREAK
Cause I'm a honky tonk man ... and I can't seem to stop
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox
But when my money's all gone I'm on the telephone
Saying hey hey mama can your daddy come home
It takes a purty little gal and a jug of wine
That's what it takes to make a honky tonk mind
With the jukebox a moanin' a honky tonk sound
That's when I wanna lay my money down
Cause I'm a honky tonk man ... and I can't seem to stop
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox
But when my money's all gone I'm on the telephone
Saying hey hey mama can your daddy come home
Cause I'm a honky tonk man ... and I can't seem to stop
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox
But when my money's all gone I'm on the telephone
Saying hey hey mama can your daddy come home
North ... to Alaska go north the rush is on
North ... to Alaska go north the rush is on
Big Sam left Seattle in the year of ninety-two
With George Pratt his partner and brother Billy too
They crossed the Yukon river and they found the bonanza gold
Below that old white mountain ... just a little south-east of Nome
Sam crossed the Majestic mountains to the valleys far below
He talked to his team of huskies ... as he mushed on through the snow
With the northen lights a-runnin' wild in the land of the midnight sun
Yes Sam McCord was a mighty man in the year of nineteen-one
Where the river is windin' big nuggets they're findin'
North ... to Alaska go north the rush is on
North ... to Alaska go north the rush is on
North ... to Alaska go north the rush is on
George turns to Sam with his gold in his hand
Said Sam you're lookin' ... at a lonely lonely man
I'd trade all the gold ... that's buried in this land
For one small band of gold to place on sweet little Jenny's hand
'Cause a man needs a woman ... to love him all the time
Remember Sam a true love is so hard to find
I'd build for my Jenny ... a honeymoon home
Below that old white mountain ... just a little south-east of Nome
Where the river is windin' big nuggets they're findin'
North ... to Alaska go north the rush is on
North ... to Alaska go north the rush is on
If you told me that you love me I would feel so proud
If you let me hold you, honey I'd-a holler out loud
I'll never love another even if I can
Oh, come to me baby
I'm a one woman man
Won't cha' let me baby Just-a, kind-a hang around
I'll always love ya, honey and I'll never let you down
I'll never love another even if I can
Oh, come to me baby I'm a one woman man
BREAK
I'd climb the highest mountain if it reached up to the sky
To prove that I love you I would jump off and fly
I'd even swim the ocean from shore to shore
To prove that I love you just a little bit more
Won't cha' let me baby Just-a, kind-a hang around
I'll always love ya, honey and I'll never let you down
I'll never love another even if I can
Oh, come to me baby I'm a one woman man
BREAK
Won't cha' let me baby Just-a, kind-a hang around
I'll always love ya, honey and I'll never let you down
I'll never love another even if I can
Oh, come to me baby I'm a one woman man
In May of nineteen forty-one the war had just begun
The Germans had the biggest ship that had the biggest guns
The Bismark was the fastest ship that ever sailed the seas
On her deck were guns as big as steers and shells as big as trees
Out of the cold and foggy night came the British ship the Hood
And evry British seaman, he knew and understood
They had to sink the Bismark, the terror of the sea
Stop those guns as big as steers and those shells as big as trees
We'll find that German battleship thats makin' such a fuss
We gotta sink the Bismark 'cause the world depends on us
Hit the decks a-runnin' boys and spin those guns around
When we find the Bismark we gotta cut her down
The Hood found the Bismark and on that fatal day
The Bismark started firin' fifteen miles away
We gotta sink the Bismark was the battle sound
But when the smoke had cleared away
The mighty Hood went down
For six long days and weary nights they tried to find her trail
Churchill told the people "Put ev'ry ship a-sail"
'Cause somewhere on that ocean I know she's gotta be
We gotta sink the Bismark to the bottom of the sea
We'll find that German battleship thats makin' such a fuss
We gotta sink the Bismark 'cause the world depends on us
Hit the decks a-runnin' boys and spin those guns around
When we find the Bismark we gotta cut her down
The fog was gone on the seventh day and they saw the mornin' sun
Ten hours away from homeland the Bismark made its' run
The admiral of the British fleet said "Turn those bows around"
We found that German battleship and we're gonna cut her down
The British guns were aimed and the shells were comin' fast
The first shell hit the Bismark, they knew she couldn't last
That mighty German battleship is just a memory
"Sink the Bismark" was the battle cry that shook the seven seas
We found that German battleship was makin' such a fuss
We had to sink the Bismark 'cause the world depends on us
We hit the decks a-runnin' and we spun those guns around
Yeah, we found the mighty Bismark and then we cut her down
We found that German battleship was makin' such a fuss
We had to sink the Bismark 'cause the world depends on us
We hit the decks a-runnin' and we spun those guns around
We found the mighty Bismark and then we cut her down
I mushed from Point Barrow thru a bizzard of snow
Been out prospectin' for two years or so
Pulled into Fairbanks the city was a boom
So I took a little stroll to the Reddog Saloon
As I walked in the door the music was clear
The purtiest voice I had heard in two years
The song she was singin' made a man's blood run cold
When It's Springtime In Alaska, it's forty below
When It's Springtime In Alaska, it's forty below
It was Red-headed Lil who was singin' so sweet
I reached down and took the snowpacks off my feet
I reached for the gal who was singin' the tune
We did the Eskimo Hop all around the saloon
With a Caribou Crawl and the Grizzly Bear Hug
We did our dance on a Kodiak rug
The song she kept singin' made a man's blood run cold
When It's Springtime In Alaska, it's forty below
I was as innocent as I could be
I didn't know Lil was big Ed's wife to be
He took out his knife and he gave it a throw
When It's Springtime In Alaska, I'll be six feet below
