Lyrics:
Come on, wail
Wail, cotton tail
Benny Webster, come on and blow for me
That's cotton tail
an' a shoot an' a wail
Rude boy a loot an' a shoot an' a wail
Dippy dippy dooey - dippy dippy dooey
Double oh seven is back on the scene
Double oh
who ran, looked a lot like me
She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody
woman
See-line woman
Black dress on
For a thousand dollars
She wail and she moan
See-line woman
Wiggle wiggle
Turn like a cat
Wink at a man
like a weeping willow, honest I would.
I'd cry like a baby with a busted balloon,
I'd let out a wail that would be heard on the moon,
Our love was
Come on, wail
Wail, cotton tail
Benny Webster, come on and blow for me
That's cotton tail
as the Shareef had cleared the square
They began to wail
Shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah, rock the Casbah
Shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah,
Somewhere out yonder, a coyote wails
Night time on the desert
Time to dream of love
[ Instrumental ]
The light that I'm under is a moon big and pale
Why be satisfied
We've got all night
You scream and wail
You see who cares
Scream and wail
See who cares
Life has nothin' to do with
Killin'
winds wail,
Nobody knows, nobody sees,
Nobody knows, but me.
The scaffold is high, eternity near,
She stands in the crowd, she sheds not a tear,
the trees,
Singin' weird melodies,
And they made that,
The start of the blues!
And from a jail came the wail,
Of a down-hearted frail,
And they
a long black veil. She visits my grave when the night winds wail.
Nobody knows. Nobody sees. Nobody knows but me.
The scaffold was high and eternity
Carl Sandburg/Lee Hayes
Chorus:
Weep, all ye little rains. Wail, winds, wail. All along, along, along the Colorado Trail.
Eyes like the morning
Come on, wail
Wail, cotton tail
Benny Webster, come on and blow for me
That's cotton tail
Sea lion woman, black dress on
For a thousand dollars, she wail and she moan
Sea lion woman
Wiggle, wiggle, turn like a cat
Wink at a man and he
Come on, wail
Wail, cotton tail
Benny Webster, come on and blow for me
That's cotton tail
As soon as the Shareef had cleared the square
They began to wail
Shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah, rock the Casbah
Shareef don't like it
Come on, wail
Wail, cotton tail
Benny Webster, come on and blow for me
That's cotton tail
Come on, wail
Wail, cotton tail
Benny Webster, come on and blow for me
That's cotton tail
Come on, wail
Wail, cotton tail
Benny Webster, come on and blow for me
That's cotton tail
Come on, wail
Wail, cotton tail
Benny Webster, come on and blow for me
That's cotton tail
lyin'
Lyin' at my front door
Daddy's done turned salty
Baby, you made him so
You can cry, cry, cry
Yes, baby, you can wail
Beat your head
Sea lion woman, black dress on
For a thousand dollars, she wail and she moan
Sea lion woman
Wiggle, wiggle, turn like a cat
Wink at a man and he
Sea lion woman, black dress on
For a thousand dollars, she wail and she moan
Sea lion woman
Wiggle, wiggle, turn like a cat
Wink at a man and he
