Don't Let The Sunshine Fool Ya' Lyrics - Townes Van Zandt

Now, me and this friend named, Streetlife Brown 

We got a bottle of red and walked downtown 

One hand on the jug and one on time 

He said, "I bet you a dollar against this next line" 

I said, "Dont let the sunshine fool ya 

Dont let the bluebirds tool ya 

Dont let the women do ya 

Put your hand in mine" 

Oh, advice is fine if youve got a mind 

To listen to the end thats got the time 

But the musell get ya if you dont watch out 

Hes equipped to know what its all about 

Dont let the sunshine fool ya 

Dont let the bluebirds tool ya 

Dont let the women do ya 

Put your hand in mine 

Oh, Fanon street in the afternoon is 

An easy way to get out of tune 

But the hard soap salesman, he said, "No dice" 

When I asked politely for a better price 

He said, "Dont let that sunshine fool ya 

Dont let the bluebirds tool ya 

Dont let the women do ya 

Put your hand in mine" 

Well, heres a song for you, child of mine 

I hope you make it through this time 

Get yourself a piece of that rainbow pie 

No reason in the world you cant get by 

But dont let the sunshine fool ya 

And dont let the bluebirds tool ya 

And dont let the women do ya 

Put your hand in mine 

Oh, dont let the sunshine fool ya 

Dont let the bluebirds tool ya 

Dont let the women do ya 

Put your hand in mine 

Oh, dont let the sunshine fool ya
