Words and Music - Porter Wagoner[00:00:00]
I was in a lonely cafe by the roadside[00:00:05]
All unfriendly people no one said a word[00:00:10]
When in there stepped a starry eyed old stranger[00:00:15]
He sat down threw up his arms and then I heard[00:00:20]
Let me have about me lots of words and music[00:00:25]
Gather round and tell me anything you know[00:00:30]
Let's talk and sing[00:00:35]
And let's have words and music[00:00:36]
Give me lots of words and music till I go[00:00:40]
Then with spirits high and the conversation livens[00:00:46]
The old man told us all where he'd come from[00:00:50]
He said where I've been it's dark and lonely[00:00:54]
And you know I hardly ever see the sun[00:00:58]
The kids all said the place would be best for me[00:01:02]
And they took all the money[00:01:05]
They said to pay the bills[00:01:07]
But you know I haven't heard a word from 'em[00:01:09]
And I sorta think I never will[00:01:12]
And words're so important when you're lonely[00:01:16]
And music has always been so good for me[00:01:20]
So let's talk and sing[00:01:23]
And let's have words and music[00:01:24]
'Cause they'll come find me[00:01:28]
When they'll see that I got free[00:01:29]
Then the old man's starry eyes[00:01:33]
Grew cold and lifeless[00:01:35]
When he saw the men[00:01:37]
In white suits standin' at the door[00:01:38]
He turned and shouted[00:01:42]
Please don't take me back there[00:01:43]
Then he fell down to his knees upon the floor[00:01:46]
Then stepping from a corner of the cafe[00:01:50]
A mask of teardrops streaming down his face[00:01:53]
A young man came to claim his long lost daddy[00:01:56]
And soon their happy voices filled the place[00:02:00]
Let me have about me lots of words and music[00:02:03]
Gather round and tell me anything you know[00:02:08]
Let's talk and sing[00:02:14]
And let's have words and music[00:02:15]
Give me lots of words and music till I go[00:02:18]
Give me lots of words and music till I go[00:02:23]
