Next Week Sometime

歌詞

I went out last night, I got drunk, I was in whiskey up to my head A young lady, she walked up to me, and this is what she said She says, "Wait a minute, brother, you're a nice little fellow and you're looking mighty fine" She says, "While you out tonight, buying plenty corn whiskey, won't you buy me a bottle of wine?" I told her, "Next week sometime, daughter, but not now I never did b'lieve in buyin' whiskey for women 'fore the first of July, nohow" I told her to give me time, let me think, then I'd tell her exactly when I'd buy that expensive drink It'd be next week sometime, daughter, but not now I went to see a fortune teller, just to have my fortune told He says, "Young man, you are partly rich, you're worth a great big pot of gold" He says, "The way you've got, get this gold, you've got to listen while I tell You've got to go in a lonesome graveyard as the clock is striking twelve" I got myself a pick and a shovel, I reached the graveyard, twelve that night When I got in there, I do declare, I spied a form all dressed in white When I spied that form all dressed in white, I got right hot and cold This ha'nt said, "Don't be afraid, I want to help you dig your gold" I told him, "Next week sometime, brother, but not now I never did b'lieve in diggin' gold with a no-head man, the graveyard, nohow" Now, me and this ha'nt run breast to breast, he says, "Look here, brother, when are you gon' rest?" I told him, "Next week sometime, brother, but not now"
