You Can't Never Tell
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well the other night I had a dream I dreamed I had a castle and I was a king
But you can't never tell Lord you can't never tell
Cause when I woke up my castle was a city jail
Well I met a little gal I thought she was swell
Like a bottom of a bucket I really fell
But you can't never tell Lord you can't never tell
If she's really true or double crossin' you you can't never tell
[ fiddle ]
Well I thought I get rich so I bought a Cadillac
The finance company come and took it back
So you can't never tell Lord you can't never tell
If you're gonna be rich or wind up in the ditch you can't never tell
[ steel ]
Well today you might be a doing fine tomorrow you might be a doing time
So you can't never tell Lord you can't never tell
If you're on the right track or trackin' it back you can't never tell
