California Suite

Sammy Davis Jr.

Without a song the day would never end

Without a song the road would never bend

When things go wrong, a man ain't got a friend

Without a song

That field of corn would never see a plow

That field of corn would be deserted now

A man is born but he's no good no how

Without a song

I got my trouble and woe

But sure as I know the Jordan will roll

And I'll get along

As long as a song, strong in my soul

I'll never know what makes the rain to fall

I'll never know what makes that grass so tall

I only know there ain't no love at all

Without a song

I've a-got my trouble and woe

And sure as I know the Jordan will roll

And I'll get along as long as a song

Strong in my soul

I'll a-never know what makes that rain to fall

I'll never know what makes the grass so tall

I only know there ain't no love at all

Without a song
