Sleepy Time Blues

When your mind starts dreaming,

Your heart starts stealing

Here comes them Sleepy Time Blues

Sure as the train's

Rolling down the track

Better go to sleep

Before the blues gets back

Go to sleep boys,

Don't blow no fuse

I know you want to stay awake

But it just ain't no use

Better go to sleep

And turn your tired mind loose

Here comes them Sleepy Time Blues

It's time for sleeping

For the dawn comes creeping

In its early morning shoes

Turn it in

Try to forget

You don't really need

Another cigarette.

Your throat is tired,

your mind's all sore,

Your head is aching

Don't you know what's more

You can't remember

What you're staying up for

Here comes them Sleepy Time Blues

The more you fret

The worse it gets

It's time to call it a day

Then after you've slept

And you open your eyes

You're sure to be in

For a nice surprise

Lose them blues,

It's out of style

Tomorrow you'll find that it

Wasn't worthwhile

And come the morning

You'll have to smile

When you think about

Your Sleepy Time Blues.
