Good
night sweet tender,
the veil is on the loom
Coyotes see it be, yeah, yeah, yeah
They sing a lonesome tune
And all my life I'm rambling
And so you're in my state
I lie awake and wander
At every bedtime you say
So keep those coals a -blowing
keep my true love dreamin'
goodnight
Met a man wanderin' down
in Harbor Town
Begged for me a dollar
and drank the dollar down
He said, am a sailor,
swallowed by the wars
A soldier drenched in salt,
cast back to the shore
And now I'm good for nothing,
except a drink and a dream
It's a good night, sweet tender,
the veil is on the loom
Coyotes, the yippee,
yeah, yeah, yeah,
sing a lonesome tune
All my life I'm rambling,
and so you're in my stead
I lie awake and wonder
at every bedtime tale
So keep the coals a -blowin'
and keep my true love dreamin'
Good night I met
a maiden widowed
in a coal man's town
She said once I had a true love,
but then came the mountain down
And all my relations,
swallowed by the mines
We were falling nickels when
we needed nines
They met us for a while,
but took us before our time
So goodnight,
the veil is on the moon
The coyotes see at the end
They sing a lonesome tune
And I lie awake and wonder
At every bedtime tale
Goodnight Goodnight
Goodnight
You
