Recorded by Billy Walker

C F
I've got a strong suspicion that my baby's coming down
G7 F C
With a mighty bad affliction that's been going around the town
F
I don't know who she caught it from but she sure is showing certain signs
G7 C
Of having honky tonkitis and she's got it bad this time
F
I know she had it once or twice before I came along
G7 F C
But I was sure our love would be enough to keep her home
F
Now that old infection's coming back and things are looking sad
G7 C
Cause she's got honky tonkitis and Lord she's got it bad
G7 C
Honky tonkitis is the bending of the mind
D7 G7
It's whiskey drinking slowly sinking love destroying time
C F
Barstool riding downhill sliding jukebox songs and wine
G7 C
She's got honky tonkitis and she's got it bad this time
F
My baby's showing all the symptoms that I know so well
G7 F C
And I don't need a doctor's diagnosis just to tell
F
That this honky tonk addition is a sure and certain sign
G7 C
That our love has fallen victim to the fever of the wine
Repeat #3
G7 C
Yes she's got honky tonkitis and she's got it bad this time
