OH ME, OH MY

Well I'm sittin' on the river with a pole in my hand
The river might as well be dry
No, I ain't gonna catch any fish today
'Cause I ain't got no dogfly
Maybe next summer when the wind is warm
The yellah sun rides high
The fish will start a-jumpin' and I'll think o' somethin'
Singin' oh me, oh my

Oh me, oh my, what a fool am I
It's too late to cry, oh me, oh my

When my woman hang her wash on the line in the rain
She knew it wasn't gonna dry
Like a man at the station a waitin' for train
He knows it already went by
Maybe next summer when the wind is warm
The yellah sun rides high
I'll think about the woman with the wash in the rain
Singin' oh me, oh my

Oh me, oh my, what a fool am I
It's too late to cry, oh me, oh my

Well gone are the days when I used to care
Worry 'bout the good and the bad
Been so long since I was happy
Guess I'm used to bein' sad
I wait for the summer when the wind is warm
The yellah sun rides high
Singin' my song and carry right along
Singin' oh me, oh my

Well, oh me, oh my, what a fool am I
It's too late to cry, oh me, oh my
One more please
Oh me, oh my, what a fool am I
It's too late to cry, oh me, oh my
Feel like another
Oh me, oh my, what a fool am I
It's too late to cry........FADE
