I Had A Dream
|
|
(Spoken:)
|
Man, you know one thing I always dream...
|
|
Yeah
|
|
And that's the one thing in the world for a hard workin' man to do,
|
you know...
|
|
Yeah, you better see Sigmund Freud.
|
|
Yeah, you know, that's bad, you know.... For you don't never
|
dream nothin' nice. I don't know what you dream, but I know
|
when I go to bed I dream about old wagon wheels, old boxcars,
|
old broken down flat-clad chihuahua's(?). I ain't never dreamed
|
nothin' about a pretty woman or a woman walkin' around nude or
|
something like that, I can't get them dreams together you know.
|
Too hard a work, you know.
|
|
Not a hard-working man's dream.
|
|
No, no, no.
|
|
(Sung:)
|
I had a dream, and what a dream was on my mind. (My, my)
|
I had a dream, a dream was on my mind
|
Lord I said to myself, how could a hard working man dream all the time?
|
|
Well I dream my wife had ten babies, and every one of them looked like me
|
(What?) Yes, man! (A sinful world!)
|
Yes, I dream my wife had ten babies, and every one of them looked like me
|
I know they was mine, man, I know that (In the dream you mean!)
|
But when I woke up this morning, not a baby did I see
|
|
Well I dream I got married, I got married to a millionaire
|
Boy I was in the money, wasn't I? (A millionairess!)
|
Yes I dream I got married, I got married to a millionaire
|
She took me down to the bank (uh-uh), she said, Jack Dupree, all your money's in there!
|
|
But I turned over in my bed and I grabbed my pillow and put it over my head
|
(uh-uh)
|
Yes, I turned over in my bed, grabbed my pillow and put it over my head
|
Because that was the worst dream I hever had
|
For a second I thought I was dead
|
|
(Mickey's Solo:)
|
Wake me up, son, wake me up! My my! Keep on don' it, keep on doin' it!
|
You might do somethin'... Don't that remind me of them old corn whiskey days...
|
|
Yes, it got soul, too.
|
|
It got soul too, all right... You had a lot of soul too,
|
when you left Alabama, then... Did you leave at night?
|
I know they're looking like hell for you through the day, you know...
|
|
(Sung:)
|
I dream my mother-in-law got drownded (what a dream!), I dream she fell over in a creek
|
(I was glad of that too, man!)
|
Yes, I dream my mother-in-love got drownded, I dream she fell over in a creek
|
(I was a happy man, too, man, happy)
|
Yes, but when I woke up this morning, she was looking down on me as I sleep
|
(That dream couldn't be true)
