Mr. Sandman bring me a dream Make her the cutest that I've ever seen Give her two lips like roses in clover And tell her that her lonesome nights are over
[Chorus]
Sandman I'm so alone Don't got nobody to call my own Please turn on your magic beam Mr. Sandman bring me a dream
[Verse]
Mr. Sandman bring me a dream Make her the cutest that I've ever seen Give her the word that I'm not a rover And tell her that her lonesome nights are over
[Chorus]
Sandman I'm so alone Don't have nobody to call my own Please turn on your magic beam Mr. Sandman bring me a dream
[Verse]
Mr. Sandman bring us a dream Give her a pair of eyes with a come-hither gleam Give her a lonely heart, who’s solitary With lots of wavy hair, and smells like cherry
[Chorus]
Mr. Sandman someone to hold Would be so peachy before we're too old So please turn on your magic beam Mr. Sandman bring us please please please
(But, Then) A little bitty tear let me down, spoiled my act as a clown. I had it made up not to make a frown, oh, but a little bitty tear let me down.
#1.
When you said you were leaving tomorrow, that today was our last day, I said there'd be no sorrow, that I'd laugh when you walked away.
CHORUS:
C F C G7 C
#2.
I said I'd laugh when you left me, pull a funny as you went out the door.. that I'd have another one waitin', I'd wave good..bye as you go..But..
CHORUS:
C F C G7 C
#3.
Everything went like I planned it, and I really put on quite a show. In my heart I felt I could stand it, Til you walked with your grip through the door.
CHORUS:
OUTRO: C G7 C A little bitty tear let me down.(x2.)
Some people say a man is made outta mud A poor man's made outta muscle an' blood Muscle an' blood an' skin an' bone A mind that's weak and a back that's strong
[Chorus]
You load sixteen tons an' what do ya get? Another day older an' deeper in debt Saint Peter don't ya call me 'cause I can't go I owe my soul to the company store
[Verse 2]
I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine Picked up my shovel and I went to the mine Loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal The straw boss said, "Well, Bless my soul!"
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
I was born one morning it was drizzlin' rain Fightin' and trouble are my middle name Raised in a cave by an old mama lion Ain't no high-tone woman make me walk the line
[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
If ya see me coming ya better step aside A lotta men didn't and a lotta men died With one fist of iron an' the other of steel If the right one don't get ya then the left one will
I’m leaving My housekeeping position for a new opportunity at Medical device Reprocessing.
It’s a little confusing. The position I accepted is full time evenings, but for the first while I will be training on days. And, the new job won’t start for at least a couple of weeks. It all feels like a big rush to sit and wait.
I’m rereading “Atomic Habits” again. I always seem to get something new every time I read it. This time it was the part about what kind of person I want to be.
This is a difficult question. I’m not including any compilation albums or movie soundtracks. I’m going to show you the album covers that got a lot of play from me as I was growing up. I only really bought albums in the nineties. It was a very confusing time for me. I didn’t have direction, I didn’t have purpose, and I didn’t have a goal…. Maybe I still don’t. But, back then, it BOTHERED me. I think I was angry, or at least… I wanted to be angry, because I thought I was supposed to be angry.
I guess I would have to pick The Rage Against The Machine album as my all-time favourite. I almost never listen to it nowa days, but it really impacted me as a kid, and it still resonates deep down in my soul.
Fun fact. My oldest son is named after the lead singer of Rage Against The Machine.
