Rory Gallagher - Sleep On A Clothes-line lyrics

rate me

I could sleep on a clothes line,<br />

As easy as pie.<br />

I can't keep my eyes open,<br />

No matter how I try.<br />

I gotta sit down,<br />

I can't stay on my feet.<br />

I been up all night,<br />

I been walkin' the street.<br />

Oh yeah...<br />

<br />

Looking for my baby,<br />

But everywhere I've gone.<br />

Tell me I just missed her,<br />

It's gone on too long.<br />

<br />

Well, I'd go up on a mountain,<br />

And I'd fight a wild cat.<br />

Walk over Niagara,<br />

And all the way back.<br />

Get lost in the jungle,<br />

And I'd live up a tree.<br />

<br />

That's what I would want to do,<br />

If you would stay with me.<br />

Oh yeah...<br />

<br />

Looking for you baby,<br />

Gone from pillar to post.<br />

Wverywhere I'd just missed you baby,<br />

By a minute at the most.<br />

<br />

Well I'm looking for you baby,<br />

In the cafe's and the bar.<br />

All the places is glad to know you,<br />

And they say you cannot go too far.<br />

But you've gone far enough baby,<br />

If I find out I've done nothing wrong.<br />

Don't have to ask who's the fool,<br />

I won't be the one.<br />

Owwwww.......not a loser...<br />

<br />

Well, I would sleep on the tail-plane,<br />

Of a Jumbo Jet.<br />

Walk over the Ocean<br />

And I'd never once get wet.<br />

Go skating on an iceberg,<br />

And that's what I would once do.<br />

Lay it down a dozen times,<br />

Just to hear you say,<br />

"I Love You".<br />

<br />

Looking for you baby,<br />

But everwhere I go.<br />

Tell me I just missed you baby,<br />

By a minute at the most.<br />

<br />

Well, I could,<br />

Sleep on a clothes line,<br />

As easy as pie.<br />

I can't keep my eyes open,<br />

No matter how I try.<br />

I gotta sit down,<br />

I can't stay on my feet.<br />

I been up all night,<br />

I been walkin' the street.<br />

Yeah...<br />

<br />

Looking for you baby,<br />

Everwhere I go.<br />

Tell me I just missed you baby,<br />

You know, it's gone on too long.<br />

Yeah..<br />

Gone too long baby.<br />

Yeah..
