Coming to the Party

(Tom T. Hall)



"...is a song that I wrote for Jimmy Newman...(He never did get around

to recording it.) I get a chance to play the harmonica on this one."



Well, I'm coming to the party tonight

I've been wrong so long I get right

I'm gonna let my hair down and don't you think I might

'Cause I'm coming to the party tonight.



Coming to the party tonight

And I'll find someone new to hold me tight

She thinks I'm home crying won't she be surprised

'Cause I'm coming to the party tonight.



--- Instrumental ---



Well, I'm coming to the party tonight

New arms a new love a new life

So don't you shake my tree if you don't like your peaches ripe

'Cause I'm coming to the party tonight.



Coming to the party tonight

And I'll find someone new to hold me tight

She thinks I'm home crying won't she be surprised

'Cause I'm coming to the party tonight...
