Samuel’s Musician Of The Week
This week the award goes to Red Foley (aka Clyde Julian “Red” Foley) and the feature song is “Goodnight Mama, Goodnight Papa”.
In a cold and lonely city
So far away from home
Without a friend
I lay me down to sleep
But somewhere in old kentucky
Someone’s thinkin’ of me
Goodnight Mama, Goodnight PapaAs I look out of my window
I see the city lights
I hear the noise and laughter of the night
I guess my friends all think I’m lucky
But my heart’s in old kentucky
Goodnight Mama, Goodnight PapaI guess this city life has changed me
The bright lights are to blame
But deep inside this old country boy
I’ll always feel the sameOh lord I want to see the home folks
But I know I don’t fit in
‘Cause once you’re gone
You can’t go home againSo I’ll just re-live a memory
And pretend you’re all here with me
Sleep tight Mama, sweet dreams Mama
Goodnight Mama, Goodnight Papa
