Goodnight Tender |
| Goodnight sweet Tender, the veil is on the loom |
| The coyotes are yippee yi yaying, they sing a lonesome tune |
| All of my life I’m a-rambling so you’re in my stead |
| I like awake and wonder at every bedtime tale |
| So keep the coals a-glowing and keep my true love dreaming |
| Goodnight sweet Tender, goodnight |
| I met a man wandering down in Harbortown |
| He begged from me a dollar, he drank the dollar down |
| He said I am a sailor swallowed by the war |
| a soldier drenched and salty cast back to the shore |
| And now I’m good for nothing except to drink and dream |
| Goodnight sweet Tender, the veil is on the loom |
| The coyotes are yippee yi yaying, they sing a lonesome tune |
| All of my life I’m a-rambling so you’re in my stead |
| I like awake and wonder at every bedtime tale |
| So keep the coals a-glowing and keep my true love dreaming |
| Goodnight sweet Tender, goodnight |
| I met a maiden widowed in a coalman’s town |
| She said once I had a true love then came the mountain down |
| And all my relations swallowed by the mines |
| We worked for the nickels when we needed dimes |
| They fed us for a while but took us before our time |
| Goodnight sweet Tender, the veil is on the loom |
| The coyotes are yippee yi yaying, they sing a lonesome tune |
| And I’ll like awake and wonder at every bedtime tale |
| Goodnight, goodnight |
