I'm so weary and all alone

Feel tired like heavy stone

Trav'lin', trav'lin' all alone

Who will see and who will care

Bout this load that I must bear

Trav'lin', trav'lin' all alone

Prayers are said to heaven above

Bout my burdens, woes and love

Head bowed down with misery

Nothing now appeals to me

Trav'lin', trav'lin' all alone

Give me just another day

There's one thing I want to say

Friends do well and all [Incomprehensible]

Leave you always when you're old

Trav'lin', trav'lin' all alone, all alone

Oh beat me Daddy, eight to the bar

In a little honky-tonky village in Texas

There's a guy who plays the best piano by far

He can play piano any way you like it

But the kind he plays the best is eight to the bar

When he jams, it's a ball

He's the daddy of them all

The people gather around when he gets on the stand

Then when he plays, he gets a hand

The rhythm he plays puts the cats in a trance

Nobody there bothers to dance

But when he jams with the bass and guitar

They holler, "oh beat me Daddy, eight to the bar"

A-plink, a-plank, a-plink plank, plink plank

A-plunkin' on the keys

A-riff, a-raff, a-riff raff, riff raff

A-riffin' out with ease

And when he jams with the bass and guitar

They holler, "oh beat me Daddy, eight to the bar"

----- instrumental break -----

Oh beat me Daddy, eight to the bar"

When you're smilin', when you're smilin'

The whole world smiles with you

When you're laughin', when you're laughin'

The sun comes shinin' through

But when you're cryin', you bring on the rain

So stop your sighin', be happy again

Keep on smilin', 'cause when you're smilin'

The whole world smiles with you

When you're smilin', when you're smilin'

The whole world smiles with you

When you're laughin', when you're laughin'

The sun would come shining through

But when you're cryin', you bring on the rain

So stop your sighin', be happy again

Keep on smilin', 'cause when you're smilin'

The whole world smiles with you

There's honey on the moon tonight,

It's a sin if we waste it.

Come along and let's taste it

Had it ordered for you.

There's honey on the moon tonight,

Though a little off season

It is there for a reason

For a dream to come true.

We don't need a boat, motor car or bus,

Just any old bench in any old park

Is made to order for us.

There's honey on the moon tonight,

And I'm out to enjoy it

What a night to enjoy it

With honey like you

I hate's to see dat ev'nin' sun go down

Hate's to see dat ev'nin' sun go down

Cause ma baby, she done lef' dis town

If I feel tomorrow lak ah feel today

Saint Louis woman wid her diamon' rings

Pulls dat man 'roun' by her apron strings

Twern't for powder an' her store-bought hair

De man she love wouldn't gone nowhere, nowhere

Got dem Saint Louis Blues I'm as blue as ah can be

Like a man done throwed that rock down into de sea

Got dem Saint Louis Blues I'm as blue as ah can be

Went to de gypsy get her fortune tole

To de gypsy, done got her fortune tole

Cause she most wile 'bout her Jelly Roll

Now dat gypsy tole her, "Don't you wear no black"

She done tole her, "Don't you wear no black

Go to Saint Louis, you can win him back"

If she git toCairo, make Saint Louis by herself

Git to Cairo, find her old friend Jeff

Gwine to pin herself, right there, to his side If she flag his train, she sho' can ride

And she sang

Got dem Saint Louis Blues jes as blue as ah can be

Dat man got a heart lak a rock cast into de sea

Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me

Doggone it!

I loves day man lak a schoolboy loves his pie

Lak a Kentucky Col'nel loves his mint an' rye

I'll love ma baby till the day ah die

Now a black-headed gal makes a freight train jump the track

Said a black-headed gal makes a freight train jump the track

But a long tall gal makes a preacher ball the jack

Lawd, a blonde-headed woman make a good man leave the town

I said a blonde-headed woman make a good man leave the town

But a red-headed woman make a boy slap his pappy down

I loves day man lak a schoolboy loves his pie,

Lak a Kentucky Col'nel loves his mint an' rye.

I'll love ma baby till the day ah die.

A black-headed gal makes a freight train jump the track, said a black-headed

Gal makes a freight train jump the track,

But a long tall gal makes a preacher ball the jack.

Lawd, a blonde-headed woman makes a good man leave the town, I said

Blonde-headed woman makes a good man leave the town,

But a red-headed woman makes a boy slap his papa down.

Oh, ashes to ashes and dust to dust, I said ashes to ashes and dust to dust,

If my blues don't get you, my jazzing must.

We leave home expecting to find a blue bird,

Hoping ev'ry cloud will be silver lined.

But we all return as we live wo learn,

That we left our happiness behind.

When they sing you "Look for the Silver Lining, "

It is silver dollars they're looking for.

You will find my friend that the rainbow's end,

Is somewhere around your kitchen door.

The bird with feathers of blue, is waiting for you,

Back in your own back yard,

You'll see your castle in Spain, through your window pane,

Back in your own back yard.

Oh you can go to the East go to the West,

But someday you'll come weary at heart back where you started from,

You'll find your happiness lies, right under your eyes,

Back In Your Own Backyard.

Every star above

Knows the one I love,

Sweet Sue, just you!

And the moon on high

Knows the reason why,

Sweet Sue, is you!

No one else it seems,

Ever shared my dreams,

Without you I don't know what I'd do.

In this heart of mine,

You live all the time,

Ooh, Sue, just you!

Walked with no one and talked with no one

And I had nothing but shadows

Then one morning you passed

And I brightened at last

Now I greet the day and complete the day

With the sun in my heart

All my worry blew away

When you taught me how to say

Grab your coat and get your hat

Leave your worry on the doorstep

Just direct your feet

To the sunny side of the street

Can't you hear a pitter-pat?

And that happy tune is your step

Life can be so sweet

On the sunny side of the street

I used to walk in the shade

With those blues on parade

But I'm not afraid

This Rover crossed over

If I never have a cent

I'd be rich as Rockefeller

Gold dust at my feet

On the sunny side of the street

Grab your street

Now, I don't care what the weather man says

When the weatherman says it's raining

You'll never hear me complaining, I'm certain the sun will shine

I don't care how the weather vane points

When the weather vane points to gloomy

It's gotta be sunny to me, when your eyes look into mine

Jeepers Creepers, where'd ya get those peepers?

Jeepers Creepers, where'd ya get those eyes?

Gosh all git up, how'd they get so lit up?

Gosh all git up, how'd they get that size?

Golly gee! When you turn those heaters on, woe is me

Got to get my cheaters on, Jeepers Creepers

Where'd ya get those peepers? On, those weepers

How they hypnotize, where'd ya get those eyes?

Where'd ya get those eyes? Where'd ya get those eyes?

My mama done told me, when I was in pigtails

My mama done told me, uuhm

A man's gonna sweet talk and give you the big eye

But when the sweet talkin's done

A man is a two-face, a worrisome thing

Who'll leave you to sing the blues in the night

Now the rain's a-fallin', hear the train's a-callin', "Oo-oo-wee!"

My mama done told me, hear that lonesome whistle

Blowin' 'cross the trestle, "Oo-oo-wee!"

My mama done tols me, a-oo-wee-da-oo-wee

Ol' clickety-clack's sending echoin' back the blues in the night

The evenin' breeze'll start the trees to cryin'

And the moon'll hide its light when you get the blues in the night

Take my word, the mockingbird'll sing the saddest kind of song

He knows things are wrong, and he's right

Ah-ah ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah ah-ah-ah

From Natchez to Mobile, from Memphis to St. Joe

Wherever the four winds blow

I been in some big towns an' heard me some big talk

But there is one thing I know

A man is a two-face, a worrisome thing

Who'll leave you to sing the blues, singing in the night

The evenin' breeze'll start the trees to cryin'

And the moon'll hide its light

When you get the blues, blues in the night

Take my word, the mockingbird'll sing the saddest kind o' song

He knows things are wrong, and he's right

From Natchez to Mobile, from Memphis to St. Joe

Wherever the four winds, four winds blow

I been in some big towns an' heard me some big talk

But there is one thing I know

A man is a two-face, a worrisome thing

Who'll leave you to sing the blues in the night

Yes lonely, lonely blues in the night

This can't be love, because I feel so well,

No sobs, no sorrows, no sighs.

This can't be love; I get no dizzy spells,

My head is not in the skies.

My heart does not stand still, just hear it beat.

This is too sweet to be love.

This can't be love, because I feel so well,

But still I love to look in your eyes.

My heart does not stand still, just hear it beat.

This is too sweet to be love.

This can't be love, because I feel so well,

But still I love to look in your eyes.

Still I love to look in your eyes.

The road is long and seeming without end

The days go on, I remember you my friend

And though you're gone

And my heart's been emptied it seems

I'll see you in my dreams

I got you guitar here by the bed

All your favorite records

And all the books that you read

And though my soul feels like

It's been split at the seams

I'll see you in my dreams

I'll see you in my dreams

When all the summers have come to an end

I'll see you in my dreams

We'll meet and live and love again

I'll see you in my dreams

Yeah, up around the river bend

For death is not the end

And I'll see you in my dreams

I'll see you in my dreams

When all the summers have come to an end

I'll see you in my dreams

We'll meet and live and love again

I'll see you in my dreams

Yeah, up around the river bend

For death is not the end

And I'll see you in my dreams

(See) You in my dreams

See you in my dreams

Go

And I'll see you in my dreams
