Tony Joe White - Robbin' My Honeycomb
(Intro: Em)
Em Bm7
One more Greyhound running tonight
Am B7 Em
Biloxi, Mississippi bound
Bm7
But I ain't ridin', let it go on by
Am B7 Em
I think I'll just hang around downtown
Am B7 Em
Went to my baby's house, didn't telephone
Am B7 Em
Strange car in the driveway, she was not alone
Am B7 Em
Now I'm out on the street, hurting down in my bones
Bm7 Am B7 Em
Somebody's been robbin' my honeycomb
(Same chord progression in the guitar solos)
I can't look back, no memories
If that's the way she wants it, that's how's it gonna be
I never was one to keep hanging on
If the woman don't want you just leave her alone
But I think about it, and it tears me down
I find a little bar with a 7 and a Crown
I'm a dangerous man, drinkin' alone
And I feel like robbin' somebody's honeycomb
Daylight finds me out on the road
Hard rain falling but I don't feel the cold
I got a fire inside and it's burnin' deep
I got to let that woman and her new lover be
But he better not play you for a fool
I'd hurt somebody that would do that to you
I still got my feelings, they're burnin' strong
Somebody's been robbin my honeycomb
And I feel like robbin' somebody's honeycomb
