Lyrics:
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
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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
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
she didn't walk the way she do, and she do
She opened strange doors that we'd never close again
She began to wail jealousies scream
Waiting
wail now
Yeah
Hey Harmonica Man
What'cha calling me for?
Come on and take a stand
Gonna dance the floor
We wanna dance some more
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,
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
the willows.
Or was it the wind.
You recollect we all suspect the mortal door will open the sore mind.
The widows walk and wail among the willows.
Widows
the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
Oh, the scaffold is high and eternity's near
She stood in the crowd and shed not
it come to this?
How did it come to this?
If that's what passes for music
Well then dig this!
Wail and wail and wail and wail
