Pull back the curtain
Let me see the sun
It's been like a long rainy day
I slave and I try but you grumble and you cry
And we can't live together this a-way, lord lord
And we can't live together this a-way.
I set you in the shade
Give you every dime I made
What can a poor boy do?
Yes I work every day and you threw it all away
I just can't make a living for you, lord lord
And I can't make a living for you.
I've got no use for the red rocking chair
I've got no sugar, baby, now
And since she's been gone I sing this lonesome song
Got no one to rock the cradle for me now, lord lord
Got no one to rock the cradle for me now.
Let me see the sun
It's been like a long rainy day
I slave and I try but you grumble and you cry
And we can't live together this a-way, lord lord
And we can't live together this a-way.
I set you in the shade
Give you every dime I made
What can a poor boy do?
Yes I work every day and you threw it all away
I just can't make a living for you, lord lord
And I can't make a living for you.
I've got no use for the red rocking chair
I've got no sugar, baby, now
And since she's been gone I sing this lonesome song
Got no one to rock the cradle for me now, lord lord
Got no one to rock the cradle for me now.
