Well, I remember the sound since 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 backYeah the preacher taught him --Daddy taught me--
how to sing all the blues in a honky tonk keyWell 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 aloneYeah the preacher taught him --Daddy taught me--
how to sing all the blues in a honky tonk key
Yeah the preacher taught him --Daddy taught me--
how to sing all the blues in a honky tonk key
