You Can't Never Tell
Hank Locklin · Please Help Me I'm Falling [Bear Family] [1995]
(Luke McDaniel)
Well, the other night I had a dream
I dreamed I had a castle and I was a king
But you can't never tell, Lord, you can't never tell
'Cause when I woke up my castle was a city jail.
Well, I met a little gal, I thought she was swell
Like a bottom of a bucket I really fell
But you can't never tell, Lord, you can't never tell
If she's really true or double crossin' you, you can't never tell.
--- Instrumental ---
Well, I thought I get rich so I bought a Cadillac
The finance company come and took it back
So you can't never tell Lord you can't never tell
If you're gonna be rich or wind up in the ditch, you can't never tell.
--- Instrumental ---
Well, today you might be a doing fine
Tomorrow you might be a doing time
So you can't never tell, Lord, you can't never tell
If you're on the right track or trackin' it back, you can't never tell...
