Standard (EADGBE)
Verse
Daddy's gone, daddy's gonna go to work today
To make a little money, gotta get paid
Bake a cake, bake a cake and set it on a plate
Up high where the dogs can't get it, so it don't get ate
Bridge
When you lay your head on your pillow, I'll be gone, I'll be gone
When you breathe your dreams to your pillow like a song
Chorus
I woke up and all my yesterdays were gone
Other lyrics:
(Verse 3)
Close your eyes, close your eyes until your dreams arrive
Keep 'em tight where the hound can't get up, so they don't get ate
(Bridge 2)
When you raise your head from your pillow, don't delay, 'cause people decay
When you let the rays of the sun help you along
(Chorus/Outro)
I woke up and all my yesterdays were gone (x5)
