Thread Name: Lyr Req: Goodbye Blues (Blind Willie McTell)
Subject: Lyr Add: GOODBYE BLUES (Willie McTell)
I came across this thread in the unanswered requests location. Willie McTell's Last Session is one of my all-time favorite records. To me, Goodbye Blues sounds like this (the problem, of course, is verse 4--can anyone clarify?):
Don't get mad with me if I talk in my sleep Don't get mad with me if I should talk in my sleep Cause you might say something, good girl to cause you to weep
Sure as a bird fly in the air above Just as sure as a bird fly in the air above Life ain't worth a darn if you ain't with the one you love
If you talk in your sleep, woman don't you mention my name Now if you talk in your sleep, woman don't mention my name Cause if you do it might drive my heart insane
Says my head ain't much but it just flutters around Says my head ain't much but it just flutters around But I can entertain you baby from your ayfron-binding-drown
I know you' wondering what I'm gonna say to you I realise you' wondering, got me all confused But I'm leaving you this morning with those good-bye blues
