Ralph McTell - Sleepy Time Blues lyrics

When your mind starts dreaming, Your heart starts stealing Here comes them Sleepy Time Blues Sure as the train's Rolling down the track Better go to sleep Before the blues gets back Go to sleep boys, Don't blow no fuse I know you want to stay awake But it just ain't no use Better go to sleep And turn your tired mind loose Here comes them Sleepy Time Blues It's time for sleeping For the dawn comes creeping In its early morning shoes Turn it in Try to forget You don't really need Another cigarette. Your throat is tired, your mind's all sore, Your head is aching Don't you know what's more You can't remember What you're staying up for Here comes them Sleepy Time Blues The more you fret The worse it gets It's time to call it a day Then after you've slept And you open your eyes You're sure to be in For a nice surprise Lose them blues, It's out of style Tomorrow you'll find that it Wasn't worthwhile And come the morning You'll have to smile When you think about Your Sleepy Time Blues.
