"Rich White Honky Blues" lyrics - HANK WILLIAMS, JR.
[Chorus:]
I'm a rich white honky
But I know how to play the blues
I'm a rich white honky
But I know how to play the blues
'Cause all these gold digging women
Have broke my heart in two
I had a fine loving woman
Made my heart fly so high
She could do things with her lovebox
Woo, have mercy, she could ride
Then she shut me out and left me
Now I'm so lonesome, I could cry
That man, Hank Williams
He knew what he was talking about
She broke Thunderhead's heart
Old in pieces
[Instrumental break]
I was raised on Bo Diddley
Jimmy Reed and Bobby Blue
I hung out with Lightenin' Hopkins
John Lee Hooker just to name a few
I'm gon' tell you 'bout Robert Johnson
Everything he said was true
[Chorus:]
Hey, I'm a rich white honky
But I know how to play the blues
I'm a rich white honky
But I know how to play the blues
All these cold-hearted women
Have broke my heart in two, ha
[Instrumental break]
[Outro:]
You learn fast little white boy
Mhm
I think we might wanna listen to that
