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 back
[chorus] Yeah the preacher taught him --Daddy taught me-- how to sing all the blues in a honky tonk key
Well 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 alone
Yeah 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
