HOPPY'S GONE
(Slate / Henley / Lane)
Roger Miller
Hang it up boys,
Yesterdays and dreams and matinees
Like tinker toys they fell apart today
Well almost anyway
Hoppy's gone
Bed em Down, boys,
Put your cowboy boots and guns away
The broomstick horse just up and died today
And so did saturdays
Hoppy's gone
Rock-a-bye yesterday
Winds blow and cradles will fall
And down comes the curtain
And all of a lifetime of mem'ries live on
Hoppy's gone, boys, hoppy's gone
Hang it all up boys
Yesterdays and dreams and matinees
Like tinker toys they came apart today
Best just let it lay
Hoppy's gone
Rock-a-bye yesterday,
Winds will blow and cradles will fall
