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
