Billy Walker "Oh Matilda" |
(Billy Walker) Oh Matilda, I cannot sleep Toss and tumble and I'm forced to weep Oh Matilda, I cannot sleep For wanting a love I couldn't keep. Matilda was my dark haired bride Promised to love me all my life But promises they don't last too long For Matilda she is gone. Oh Matilda, I cannot sleep Toss and tumble and I'm forced to weep Oh Matilda, I cannot sleep For wanting a love I couldn't keep. A rich plantation owner he came by Saw Matilda and he gave her the eye The very next day Matilda was gone It don't pay to be a poor man's son. Oh Matilda, I cannot sleep Toss and tumble and I'm forced to weep Oh Matilda, I cannot sleep For wanting a love I couldn't keep. --- Instrumental --- When cold winds blow and rainy nights come This feeling for Matilda is strong I still feel the warmth of her embrace Tears start rolling down my face. Oh Matilda, I cannot sleep Toss and tumble and I'm forced to weep Oh Matilda, I cannot sleep For wanting a love I couldn't keep. Wanting a love I couldn't keep. Wanting a love I couldn't keep...
