Some of you folks that might have a few of the real old time 78 records around meI've heard tell of a fellow named Bill Coxnow Bill comes from West Virginia, and he was aboy that really liked to pick and sing and he's one of the fellows that I got the notion of playing the harmonica and theguitar from at the same timeAnd it won't never do to do one whole program without doing at least one little fun song that kind of like the children likeTo hear you know here's one called clouds going to roll away a little bit of foolishnessaLightning bug he never knows just what he's about to findBut he keeps on flying around and around with a little light on behindOh the clouds gonna roll away for the clouds gonna roll away. I don't care how hard it rains for the clouds gonna roll awayaLittle bird in a gilded cage, and he might have been a whistling yetBut he flew out one rainy night, and he got his whistler wet. Oh the clouds gonna roll awayOh the clouds gonna roll away. I don't care how hard it rains for the clouds gonna roll awayaJ-bird seen little worms at the wiggling to and fro but on the spot where the worm wasWell ain't no worm no more. Oh the clouds gonna roll away. Oh the clouds gonna roll awayI don't care how hard it rains for the clouds gonna roll away. I guess heaMy gal she says you're my little horse, and I says oh, no you're wrongI just couldn't be no little old horse for my hair has grown too long. Oh the clouds gonna roll awayOh the clouds gonna roll away. I don't care how hard it rains for the clouds gonna roll awayThe hen she first came from the egg then the egg came from the henBut I've been wondering all this time just how it's gonna end. Oh the clouds gonna roll awayOh the clouds gonna roll away. I don't care how hard it rains for the clouds gonna roll away
