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
