NightWing Lyr Req: Yesterday's Blues (Steep Canyon Rangers) (8) Lyr Req: Yesterday's Blues, Steep Canyon Rangers 07 Oct 18


On Steep Canyon Ranger's 2005 album One Dime at a Time, there's a good drinking song that I'm trying to learn: Yesterday's Blues.

HOWEVER, I can't quite make out all the lines. I have everything but three lines: one in the chorus and one each in the 2nd and 3rd verse.

You can find the song on YouTube (if you don't have the album) at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrgAWUcTTSU. Below you'll find the lyrics I've been able to distinguish. The underscores indicate missing syllables; the times indicate the timestamp in that YouTube video.

Any help would be appreciated!!!! In particular, if you know of any other recordings, tell me about them!!!

BB,
NightWing

Yesterday's Blues
Steep Canyon Rangers
One Dime at a Time (2005)

Well the sun's coming up and I'm fading fast.
Night's hanging around but it won't last.
Street lights are dim, giving way to the dawn
An' it's that time of night to be going home.

Well, the facts we need ain't in the morning news.
If what you believe in, believes in you.
While the world's asleep, these dreams are real.
And the night belongs _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [0:46]

Chorus:
Closing down the night in the morning light.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [0:56 2:14 3:02] to make a few things right.
Bringing in tomorrow however we choose.
Just shaking off yesterday's blues.

On top of the world between the dark and the light.
It's good to have an old friend here by your side.
And yesterday's blues will be the last to go.
Then we'll sing the song _ _ [2:02] as the roosters crow

[Chorus]
[Chorus]
