Well the other night I had a dream I dreamed I had a castle and I was a king But you can't never tell Lord you can't never tell Cause when I woke up my castle was a city jail Well I met a little gal I thought she was swell Like a bottom of a bucket I really fell But you can't never tell Lord you can't never tell If she's really true or double crossin' you you can't never tell Well I thought I get rich so I bought a Cadillac The finance company come and took it back So you can't never tell Lord you can't never tell If you're gonna be rich or wind up in the ditch you can't never tell Well today you might be a doing fine tomorrow you might be a doing time So you can't never tell Lord you can't never tell If you're on the right track or trackin' it back you can't never tell
