Don’t you cry __ don’t you moan
Hang your head down all night long
That ole feeling sure ain’t nothing new
It’s in your walkit’s in your talk
There’s only one way to shake it off
You got to get to it before it gets to you
So put a quarter in that jukeboxlet it drop
Put another one inplay it againdon’t let it stop
There’s only one thing I’ve found
That’ll turn it all around
The blues can’t do no business
On a honky tonk side of town
You gotta slipyou gotta slide
There’re gonna try to nail your hide
Yeahthey’ll put a hurting on yougiven half a chance
So get mean and get slick
You gotta pull out every trick
Cause everybody knows the blues don’t like to dance
To chorus:
Wellyou can walk that walk
And talk that talkand boogie till you shake it off
No the blues can’t do no business
The blues can’t do no business
The blues can’t do no business
On the honky tonk side of town
