Hunkie Tunkie Blues Lyrics - Charley Jordan

Baby I'm goin' uptown tell the chief police 

My woman quit me can't see no peace 

She keep me worried - bothered all the time 

'Cos she keep me worried - I'm bothered all the time 

Well I love you woman, love your husband too 

I have to love your husband just to be with you 

'Cos he don't allow no man around his house 

Because he don't allow no man around his house 

Well my mama told me my papa too 

Don't let that woman be the death of you 

'Cos she didn't allow me stay out all night long 

Because she didn't allow me to stay out all night long 

What you do when they tear your barrelhouse down 

Gonna take my suitcase hunt some other town now 

What you do when they tear your barrelhouse down 

Gonna take my suitcase hunt some other town 

- Solo - 

Well they say everybody talking 'bout your Hunkie Tunkie Blues 

Everybody's talking 'bout your Hunkie Tunkie Blues 

Well they say everybody talking 'bout your mother Hunkie Tunkie Blues 

Well they say everybody talking 'bout your Hunkie Tunk baby 

You ought to see that curly hair monkey head 

Head is curly baby bushy too 

'Cos his head is curly baby bushy too
