Goodnight Tender
Goodnight sweet Tender, the veil is on the loom
The coyotes are yippee yi yaying, they sing a lonesome tune
All of my life I'm a-rambling so you're in my stead
I like awake and wonder at every bedtime tale
So keep the coals a-glowing and keep my true love dreaming
Goodnight sweet Tender, goodnight
I met a man wandering down in Harbortown
He begged from me a dollar, he drank the dollar down
He said I am a sailor swallowed by the war
a soldier drenched and salty cast back to the shore
And now I'm good for nothing except to drink and dream
Goodnight sweet Tender, the veil is on the loom
The coyotes are yippee yi yaying, they sing a lonesome tune
All of my life I'm a-rambling so you're in my stead

I like awake and wonder at every bedtime tale
So keep the coals a-glowing and keep my true love dreaming
Goodnight sweet Tender, goodnight
I met a maiden widowed in a coalman's town
She said once I had a true love then came the mountain down
And all my relations swallowed by the mines
We worked for the nickels when we needed dimes
They fed us for a while but took us before our time
Goodnight sweet Tender ,the veil is on the loom
The coyotes are yippee yi yaying, they sing a lonesome tune
And I'll like awake and wonder at every bedtime tale
Goodnight, goodnight
