"The King Of Western Swing" lyrics

The King Of Western Swing

They call me mister Honky Tonk
The king of western swing
There's something in that music
That I love to pick and sing

When the band starts playing
You can hear them fiddles ring
They call me mister Honky Tonk
The king of western swing

When I hear that steel guitar
It makes me feel so proud
Pretty girls a dancing
Just listen to that crowd

From Tennessee to Texas
When they hear me do my thing
They call me mister Honky Tonk
The king of western swing

You'll find me on the band stand
Almost every night
Anywherе there's beer and wine
And the flashing nеon lights

They do-si-do to the "Cotton-Eyed Joe"
And even do the buck and wing
They call me mister Honky Tonk
The king of western swing

When I hear that steel guitar
It makes me feel so proud
Pretty girls a dancing
Just listen to that crowd

From Tennessee to Texas
When they hear me do my thing
They call me mister Honky Tonk
The king of western swing

They call me mister Honky Tonk
The king of western swing
