Upright Lad Blues
Once again
My man ain’t home
One more night
Wishing he was around
One more night my smile is
Nowhere to be found
Once again
My baby ain’t home
One more night
I’m craving his news
Heat up his dinner
While fancying my blues
He’s been gone for hours
But for me, time just stands still
When he gets home, no point
Asking where he’s been
I know I’m my
Man’s undying thrill
Once again
My man ain’t home
But he ain’t drinking
Or fooling around
Cause he’s the kind of guy
That makes me dare to be
Proud
Breaking his back
Trying his best
Lord, I don’t mean to brag
But he’s the kind of lad
I ain’t afraid to find
In my best friend’s bed
He’ll be home by midnight
Surely tired, maybe sad
And I just wish
He never had to leave
So we could melt ourselves
In kisses instead
Once again
The man ain’t home
But my guy
Would never do no wrong
He turns the blues
Into a joyful, cheerful, sunny,
Breezy, upbeat, merry,
Happy, free and easy tune
