Artist/Band: Tom Waits
Lyrics for Song: Oily Night
Lyrics for Album: Black Rider [1993]



The prettiest girl

In all the world

Is in a little Spanish town

But I left her for a Bonnie lass

And I told her

I'd see her around

But that Bonnie lass

And her heart of glass

Would not hold a candle



To bumming around

So don't cry for me

For I'm going away

And I'll be back some lucky day



Tell the boys back home

I'm doing just fine

I left my troubles and woe

So sing about me

For I can't come home

I've many more miles to go



Why, there's Miss Kelsey

You taught dance at our school

And old Johnny O'Toole

I'll still beat you at pool

So don't cry for me

For I'm going away

And I'll be back some lucky day



Now when I was a boy

My daddy sat me on his knee

And he told me

He told me many things

And he said sone

There's a lot of things in this world

You're gonna have no use for

ANd when you get blue

And you've lost all your dreams

There's nothin' like a campfire

And a can of beans



Why, there's Miss Kelsey

She taught dance at our school

And old Johnny O'Toole

I'll still beat you at pool

So don't cry for me

For I'm going away

And I'll be back some lucky day
