Oh Me, Oh My
Ferlin Husky · I Could Sing All Night Long [Capitol] [1966]
(Ronnie Self)
Well, I'm sittin' on the river with a pole in my hand
The river might as well be dry
No, I ain't gonna catch any fish today
'Cause I ain't got no dogfly.
Maybe next summer when the wind is warm
The yellow sun rise high
The fish will start to jumpin' and I think of somethin' singin'
Oh me, oh my.
Oh me, oh my, what a fool am I
It's too late to cry, oh me, oh my.
When my woman hang the wash over line in the rain
She knew it wasn't gonna dry
Like a man at the station a waitin' for train
He knows it already went by.
Maybe next summer when the wind is warm
The yellow sun rise high
I'll think about the woman with the wash in the rain
Singin', oh me, oh my.
Oh me, oh my, what a fool am I
It's too late to cry, oh me, oh my.
--- Instrumental ---
Well, gone are the days when I used to care
Worry 'bout the good and the bad
Been so long since I was happy
Guess I'm used to bein' sad.
I wait for the summer when the wind is warm
The yellow sun rise high
Singin' my songs and carry right along
Singin', oh me, oh my.
Well, oh me, oh my, what a fool am I
It's too late to cry, oh me, oh my.
One more please, oh me, oh my, what a fool am I
It's too late to cry, oh me, oh my...
