Originally, it was a western swing tune.


TOMORROW NEVER COMES
Written by Ernest Tubb and Johnny Bond
As recorded by Ernest Tubb, 1945.

1. Oh, you tell me that you love me.
Yes, you tell me that you care,
That tomorrow we'll be married,
But tomorrow's never there. Oh—

CHORUS: Tomorrow never comes.
No, tomorrow never comes.
Now you tell me that you love me,
But tomorrow never comes.

2. Many weeks now have I waited.
Many long nights have I cried,
Just to see that happy morning
When I'd have you by my side. But—CHORUS

3. So tomorrow I'll be leavin'.
Yes, tomorrow I'll be gone.
Oh, tomorrow you'll be weepin',
But tomorrow never comes. Oh—CHORUS
