Sunny Side of the Street - Roosevelt Sykes

Now get your hat, baby

Get yo coat and leave your worries

On your doorstep

'Cause you know life can be sweet

On the sundown, sunny, sunny

Sunny, sunny side up the street

You hear the pity pat

Now the sign of the sound of the rain drops

Now, go ahead on and direct yo feet, baby hidden

To the sunny, sunny, sunny, side-a the dream, yeah

You see I walk, mama walked, in the shade

With them blues I’m talkin' bout

Now, now, now, now on parade

I don’t worry now, no Because it’s over, over, over

And we gonna cross a Vine

Ever, never owned a cent

You see I feel mellow, mellow

Mellow as old Rockefeller

Talkin' bout the gold dust at my feet, baby

On the sundown, sunny, sunny

Side of the street, yes man, out there

'Mercy, mercy, right there'

'Go ahead an sell yo papers, son'

'Oh, yeah'

'Whoa, yeah'

Take my walk in the shade

With them blues I’m talkin' bout

Now darlin, on parade

I don’t worry not now

Because it’s all over, over

Over and they gotta cross over, babe

Ever, never owned a cent

You see I’d feel mellow, mellow

'Most Rock-a-fellow

With gold dust at my feet

I have sundown, sunny, sunny side the

Ba-doo-ooo-boo-boo-dadoodle-de

Pow!

Pow!

Pow!
