Lyrics Oily Night - Tom Waits

Oily Night

The prettiest girl
In all the world
Is in a little Spanish town
But I left her for a Bonnie lass
And I told her
I d see her around
But that Bonnie lass
And her heart of glass
Would not hold a candle
To bumming around
So don t cry for me For I m going away
And I ll be back some lucky day
Tell the boys back home
I m doing just fine
I left my troubles and woe
So sing about me For I can t come home
I ve many more miles to go Why, there s Miss Kelsey
You taught dance at our school
And old Johnny O Toole
I ll still beat you at pool
So don t cry for me For I m going away
And I ll be back some lucky day
Now when I was a boy
My daddy sat me on his knee
And he told me He told me many things
And he said sone
There s a lot of things in this world
You re gonna have no use for
ANd when you get blue
And you ve lost all your dreams
There s nothin like a campfire
And a can of beans
Why, there s Miss Kelsey
She taught dance at our school
And old Johnny O Toole
I ll still beat you at pool
So don t cry for me For I m going away
And I ll be back some lucky day
