statler brothers - 1953 dear john honky tonk blues lyrics
(don reid – harold reid)
i keep the radio on most all night long
and listen to the songs they play
sometimes i hum, tap along with my thumb
listen to the words they say.
and i have to admit those yesterday hits
take me back a year or two
i get those 1953 dear john
honky tonk blues for you.
get those 1953
dear john honky tonk blues.
and i need help when i hear no help wanted
rememberin’ where we first heard lovesick blues
old songs make me wonder what you’re doing
i get those 1953 dear john honky tonk blues.
— instrumental —
gonna play this song for
rollin’ john the wild side of life
it’s rolly polly a golden oldie
for carl and his brand new wife.
well, it makes me feel sad but
it ain’t half bad remembering the things i’d do
i get those 1953 hey,
joe hop a bop blues for you.
get those 1953 hey
joe hop a bop blues for you.
and i need help when i hear no help wanted
rememberin’ where we first heard lovesick blues
old songs make me wonder what you’re doing
i get those 1953 dear john honky tonk blues…
