Goodnight, Mrs. Jones - Vaughn Monroe

the old church is dark

and the people have gone.

i was one of the many

who stood in the throng.

though you saw me smile

i was playing a part.

while others threw rice

i threw you my heart.

good night mrs.

jones

whereever you are.

with my old ex buddy

who’s driving the car.

snuggle close to that theif,

as you ride through the gloom,

good night mrs.

jones,

happy honeymoon.

i walk by the river

but the river says, «no!».

its waters so cold, so dark,

and so slow.

i look at the moon

but i can’t see him smile,

i’ll leave the old river

and think a little while.

i open the door and walk into my room

alone i sit dreaming, and longing for you.

the lady next door sings her baby

to sleep.

tonight, you are smiling, but

my poor heart weeps.

good night mrs.

jones

whereever you are.

with my old ex buddy

who’s driving the car.

snuggle close to that theif

as you ride through the gloom.

good night mrs.

jones —

happy honeymoon.
