Honky Tonk - Dinah Washington

I’ve been in every bar

Been in every honky-tonk

Been tryin' to find my daddy

With that broke down piece o' junk

Ask everyone to help me

Cried, help me if you can

You’ll know my daddy

He’s that trombone playin' man

Where is my daddy?

Tell me where is my daddy

With that big long slidin' thing?

I even ask a man

That played a steel guitar

He said that you don’t need him

To be moved eight to the bar

He brought his amplifier

And he hitched it in my plug

He planked it, and he plunked it

But it just wasn’t good enough

'Cause I need my daddy

Need my daddy with that big long slidin' thing

Well, then a knock came at my door

I said, mmh, my daddy’s back

I opened up the door

And there stood Piano Jack

He said, I came to do some tinklin'

On your piano keys

I said, don’t make me nervous

This ain’t no time to tease

Just send me my daddy

Send me my daddy with that big long slidin' thing

Well, the first time he played

I ask him how it was done

He said, I blow through here

Then I work my fingers and my thumb

I slide it right up

Then I slide it back again

And I get a lot o' wind

And then I slide it back again

That is my daddy

With that big long sliding thing, oh yeah
