Honky Tonkin' Fool
Doug Supernaw

Red hung out at the point of tears

He was a honky tonkin' fool

Ever since they brought that jukebox here

Back in 1952


He was the first to drop a nickel in

When he danced with his first wife

By '61 his wife was gone

But that jukebox had survived


It was three plays for a quarter

I turned on enough to go

Red showed me that ol' Wurlitzer


And said, Son, I want you to know

If you ever come up to be short

Just kick it on the side

Would you do this honky tonkin' fool

One favor when I die


Roll away my tombstone

Put this jukebox in its place

Make damned sure Your Cheatin' Heart

Is the only song it plays


I don't need no stone with fancy words


This jukebox cool

As a perfect final tribute to a honky tonkin' fool


When we heard the news, me and Mr. Hughes

Put that jukebox in my truck

And hauled it on down to the place

That ol' Red had hung it up


And, I ran a short extension cord

From the old caretaker's shed

I kicked the side, played Your Cheatin' Heart

Looked down at Red and said


Red I rolled away your tombstone

Put this jukebox in its place

And I made damned sure Your Cheatin' Heart

Is the only song it plays


You were right about that tombstone, Red

This jukebox cool

As a perfect final tribute to a honky tonkin' fool

It's the perfect final tribute to a honky tonkin' fool
