Goodtime Charley's Got The Blues

Mel Wilkerson

Circle Left
Everybody's gone away,
Say they're moving to L.A.
Allemande Left your Corner girl you DoSaDo and then
Left Allemande and Weave
There's not a soul that I know around
Swing and Promenade
Some gotta win, some gotta lose.
Goodtime Charlie's got the blues

Some caught a freight, some caught a plane,
Find the sunshine, leave the rain
...
They said this town's a waste of my time
I guess they're right, it's wastin' mine

You know my heart keeps telling me
"You're not a kid at thirty-three"
...
I'd love to try and settle down
But everybody's leaving town
