This song is originally played in the key of E Don't you cry don't you moan Hang your head down all night long That ole feeling sure ain't nothing new It's in your walk, it's in your talk There's only one way to shake it off, You got to get to it before it gets to you So Put a quarter in that jukebox, let it drop Put another one in, play it again, don't let it stop There's only one thing I've found That'll turn it all around The blues can't do no business On a honky tonk side of town You gotta slip, you gotta slide There're gonna try to nail your hide Yeah, they'll put a hurting on you, given half a chance So get mean and get slick You gotta pull out every trick Cause everybody knows the blues don't like to dance Well, you can walk that walk And talk that talk, and boogie till you shake it off No the blues can't do no business The blues can't do no business The blues can't do no business On the honky tonk side of town
