Bye And Bye

By and by, I'm breathin' a lover's sigh While I'm sittin' on my watch so I can be on time I'm singin' love's praises with sugar coated rhyme By and by, on you I'm castin' my eye I'm paintin' the town, swingin' my partner around Well I know who I can depend on, I know who to trust I'm watchin' the road, I'm studyin' the dust I'm paintin' the town, makin' my last go-round Well I'm scufflin' and I'm shufflin' and I'm walkin' on briars I'm not even aquainted with my own desires I'm rollin' slow, I'm doin' all I know I'm tellin' myself I've found true happiness That I still got a dream that hasn't been repossessed I'm rollin' slow goin' where the wild roses grow Well, the future for me is already a thing of the past You were my first love and you will be my last Papa gone mad, Mama she's feelin' sad Well, I'm gonna baptize you in fire so you can sin no more I wanna establish my rule through civil war Gonna make you see just how loyal and true a man can be
