Widow Jones couldn't make it on her own. Frank was 'lectrafied leaving six kids half grown. In her misery she sent for me the singer of sad songs. And I sympathized and eulogized Frank Jones.
A soft summer rain she was when she came and settled my old dusty worn-out soul. While I watched in a dream and dreamed as I watched. The sweetest and the shortest story told.
(Okay, hold it kids, hold it! Listen! I wanna sing a song now especially for mama.. Okay? This is for mama.). . She looks at me with the eyes of a child.
Well friends you know once I was took in by a girl with a twinkly eye. But the first time that I wasn't lookin' she ran off with a handsomer guy oh my.
(Okay, is everybody ready to be animals? Yeah!). . See that bluebird on a limb he wants you to fly away with him. He wants you to wear a featherly vest.
Shame on me for hurting you what can I say what can I do. Last night I was blind but today I see I did you wrong shame on me. . You say you won't be seein' me again you say we're through.
She called me baby baby all night long used to hold and kiss me till the dawn. Then one day I awoke and she was gone ah there's no more baby baby all night long.
You know I peeked in to say goodnight,. When I heard my child in prayer.. She said, "And for me some scarlet ribbons,. Scarlet ribbons for my hair.". .
In a pub Britanny, I had me a drink or three. I can vaguely recall, a pretty girl was standin' there. Ran her hand through my hair, took me off for some air.
Sun's up I better get up and make the rounds. All alone on my own here in this old town of Salt Lake City. Gotta find work forget the hurt and how she put me down.
I was born in Saginaw Michigan I grew up in a house on Saginaw bay. My dad was a poor hard working Saginaw fisherman. Too many times he came home with too little pay.
It was our 25th anniversary. And I was watchin' the Super Bowl. When suddenly she started cursin' me. Hell I almost dropped my remote control. . And she said that's that.
Where are you going i don't mind. I've killed my world and ive killed my time. So where do i go what do i see. I see many people coming after me. So where are you going to i dont mind.
[Chorus]. Don't need no diamond ring. Don't want a bunch of bling bling. The only thin I really need. Is a man with a skoal ring. Don't have to be wined and dined.
Roadside signs. Eighteen wheels rollin' through the night. Sometimes I wonder 'bout this crazy lonely life. People come and go. Some you love and some you don't.
Excuse me, would you mind if I sat down?. Im the other woman you know nothing about. And before you throw that margarita at me. Let me tell you, a heartbreaking story.
Sweet dreams of you. Every night, I go through. Why can't I forget you, and start my life anew --. Instead of having sweet dreams about you?. . You don't love me, it's plain.
Way down upon the Swanee River,. Far, far away. That's where my heart is yearning ever,. Home where the old folks stay. . Way down upon the Swanee River,.
I hate to see that evening sun go down. I hate to see that evening sun go down. Cause my baby, he's gone left this town. . Feelin' tomorrow like I feel today.
