Only One And Only Lyrics - Gillian Welch

There's a hundred bluebirds 

Up above the clouds 

Putting all the color in the sky 

And twice as many tear drops 

there to wash it down 

Every one's another lullaby 

But there's only one and only 

Who could go and leave me lonely 

There's a world of trouble 

Trying to take its turn 

I can hear it shaking underground 

And half a dozen lessons 

I might never learn 

Not until them troubles come around

But there's only one and only 

Who could go and leave me lonely 

There's a mile of blacktop 

Where the road begins 

It takes a time or two to recognize 

Growing at the roadside 

Scattered by the wind 

Are everybody's unsaid sad goodbyes 

Photos 

But there's only one and only 

Who could go and leave me lonely 

You're the only one and only 

Why'd you go and leave me lonely
