PUT ME TO BED
(Johnny Bond)


Johnny Bond - 1953



Well I met an old pal about an hour ago
He offred me a drink, but he said go slow
Won't you put me to bed, won't you put me to bed
Got an ache in my head, mama, won't you put me to bed

Well I don't know how I'll ever get home
That's the last thing I said as I blew off the phone
Won't you put me to bed , won't you put me to bed
My eyes are so red, mama, won't you put me to bed

(Instrumental Break)

I wanna dream sweet dreams, wanna float on a cloud
Tell that old tomcat to quit stompin' so loud
Won't you put me to bed, won't you put me to bed
Did you hear what I said, mama, won't you put me to bed

(Instrumental Break)

Well I walked up to a traffic cop
What I told that guy made him blow his top
Won't you put me to bed, won't you put me to bed
I wish I was dead, mama, won't you put me to bed

(Instrumental Break)

And as long as I live I'll never take another drink
Take this bottle of gin and pour it down the sink
Won't you put me to bed, won't you put me to bed
My head's full o' lead, mama, won't you put me to bed
