Juke box blues Songtext

I didn´t wait to choose

Just droped a nickle in the slot

And played the juke box blues



There´s a guy in there with an old tin horn

And a feller on an old banjo

And the man of the fiddle

He wasn´t no slouch

He could really drag that bow


Well, the man on the fiddle

He must have got tired

I didn´t hear him say

´Cause he cut loose on the steel guitar

And the juke box ran away



And I´ve heard something going strong

It must have been a drum

It gave that song a solid beat

Boy it was goin´ some



I walked into a honkey tonkey

Just the other day

I droped a nickle in the juke box

Just to hear it play

I didn´t have no tune in mind

I didn´t wait to choose

Just droped a nickle in the slot

And played the juke box blues



I´ve played a lot of juke boxes

Most everyone in town

That´s the first tune I´ve ever heard

That can make one night surround



Play the juke box blues

Such a rhythm I´ve never heard

And danced out both of my shoes
