"Mr. Guitar Man" lyrics - DEE DEE BRIDGEWATER

Children playing "cops'n'robbers" in the alley
Momma's busy fixin' dinner in the kitchen
Daddy's coming home from work
It's been a long hard day

Dogs are barking after every car that's passing
"Cats" are throwing dice and messin' with the ladies
Got my music up
To try and chase the blues away...

Each time that I close my eyes
I dance off to the wonderland but
Sister, she soon is shaking me
And I'm in my room again...

Oh Mr Guitar man (Guitar man)
Wish you'd come and play beside me
Mr Guitar man (Guitar man)
You could help me sing my melody

Mom and dad decide to go and see a movie
Shirley's racin' little bobby down the hallway
Turn the music on
And suddenly I start to sway

Each time that I close my eyes
I dance off to the wonderland but
Sister, she soon is shaking me
And I'm in my room again

Mr Guitar man (Guitar man)
Wish you'd come and play beside me
Mr Guitar man (Guitar man)
You could help me sing my melody
Help me sing my melody

...

Each time that I close my eyes
I dance off to the wonderland but
Sister, she soon is shaking me
And I'm in my room again

Mr Guitar man (Guitar man)
Wish you'd come and play beside me
Mr Guitar man (Guitar man)
You could help me sing my melody

Mr Guitar man (Guitar man)
Wish you'd come and play beside me
Mr Guitar man
You could help me sing my melody

Hey Mr Guitar man...
Wish you'd come and play beside me
Hey Mr Guitar man...
You could help me sing my melody...
