I Had A Dream - Champion Jack Dupree

Man, you know one thing I always dream…

Yeah

And that’s the one thing in the world for a hard workin' man to do

You know

Yeah, you better see Sigmund Freud

Yeah, you know, that’s bad, you know

(uh-uh)

Yes, I turned over in my bed, grabbed my pillow and put it over my head
