I'm goin' to tell all you people, my dream I had one week ago I'm goin' to tell all you people, my dream I had one week ago I dreamed my baby was leavin' me, and I was beggin' her, "Please don't go" But whensoever you have a dream, always take your dream the other way Whensoever you have a dream, always take your dream the other way For now I've been mistreated, and I'm leavin' town this very day I'd rather be up on a mountain, or down in the deep blue sea I would rather be up on a mountain, or down in the deep blue sea Than to be right here, baby, treated like you treat poor me Lord, I cried last night, and I cried the night before I say, I cried last night, cried the night before But that is one thing I hope, I won't have to cry no more Now if you don't want me, baby, why don't you tell me so? I say, if you don't want me, baby, why don't you tell me so? Then I can sleep at night and won't have to dream no more
