Townes Van Zandt - Don't Let The Sunshine Fool Ya' Lyrics
Me & this friend Streetlife Brown
We got a bottle of red and walked downtown
One hand on the jug and one on time
He said I bet you a dollar against this next line
Don't let the bluebirds tool ya
Don't let the women do ya
Put your hand in mine
Advice is fine if you've got a mind
To listen to the end that's got the time
But the muse'll get ya if you don't watch out
He's equipped to know what it's all about
Don't let the sunshine fool ya
Don't let the women do ya
Put your hand in mine
Fannin' street in the afternoon
An easy way to get out of tune
But the hard soap salesman said no dice
When I asked politely for a better price
Don't let the sunshine fool ya
Don't let the bluebirds tool ya
Don't let the women do ya
Put your hand in mine
Here's a song for you child of mine
I hope you make it through this time
Get yourself a piece of that rainbow pie
No reason in the world you can't get by
Don't let the sunshine fool ya
Don't let the bluebirds tool ya
Don't let the women do ya
Put your hand in mine
Don't let the sunshine fool ya
Don't let the bluebirds tool ya
Don't let the women do ya
Put your hand in mine

Great foot tapping music, and we can all join in. This is the kind of music that get's folks through the bad times. This isn't for "America's idol" (or whatever it's called), it is food for the soul. I thank God I was blessed to hear this today!!! Sincerely, Patty
"I'm gonna sing a song about sunshine, bluebirds,and rainbows..."
Still proof white men can sing the blues.
Old school song by Townes Van Zandt, I couldn't ask for more! I like Townes's voice both in his older and younger years!
Performed by Townes, written by Guy Clark. This was the second recording of a Guy Clark song.
Guy is my favorite. But this was written BY TVZ, NOT Guy.
Guy Clark wrote it according to wikipedia. Can't speak for the accuracy there but I think it's probably right, song has a kinda Guy Clark feel to it to my ears. I really love Townes' version of 'Dublin Blues'
Thank you for posting this yourfaultpoops
This song rules!
so good
