Townes Van Zandt - Don't Let The Sunshine Fool Ya' lyrics

Me & this friend Streetlife Brown We got a bottle of red and walked downtown One hand on the jug and one on time He said I bet you a dollar against this next line Don't let the sunshine fool ya Don't let the bluebirds tool ya Don't let the women do ya Put your hand in mine Advice is fine if you've got a mind To listen to the end that's got the time But the muse'll get ya if you don't watch out He's equipped to know what it's all about Don't let the sunshine fool ya Don't let the bluebirds tool ya Don't let the women do ya Put your hand in mine Fannin street in the afternoon An easy way to get out of tune But the hard soap salesman said no dice When I asked politely for a better price Don't let the sunshine fool ya Don't let the bluebirds tool ya Don't let the women do ya Put your hand in mine Here's a song for you child of mine I hope you make it through this time Get yourself a piece of that rainbow pie No reason in the world you can't get by Don't let the sunshine fool ya Don't let the bluebirds tool ya Don't let the women do ya Put your hand in mine Don't let the sunshine fool ya Don't let the bluebirds tool ya Don't let the women do ya Put your hand in mine
