Lyrics: Some call it the ribbon Some say the white line I say truckstop living Well it suits me fine
Every day of the week (x2)
We heard some other fellers talking I think it's going to be a good fight Tonight the radio is rocking I'm going to hear my favorite song
If it takes all night (x5)
I'm going to wash my favorite shirt In downtown Marseilles It’s got the same old dirt From up in Calais, oh oh
How many days and weeks? (x2)
Now every job it is important But still sometimes the money's right I saw the ghost of Johnny Horton He said we're going to make el paso
If it takes all night (x8)
I lost my favorite cook He left little Siam For many years I looked He said here I am, oh oh
Every day of the week (x2)
Some got to go and see their mama Some got to play a show tonight I got to go and see my baby When next I sleep I'll be with her
If it takes all night (x16)
Definitions and References: Johnny Horton "Although he is better-remembered for his historical songs, Johnny Horton was one of the best and most popular honky tonk singers of the late '50s. Horton managed to infuse honky tonk with an urgent rockabilly underpinning. His career may have been cut short by a fatal car crash in 1960, but his music reverberated throughout the next three decades." - allmusic.com
