| Lyrics |
I tried so hard my dear to show that you're my every dream.
Yet you're afraid each thing I do is just some evil scheme
A memory from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart
Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is paying now for things I didn't do
In anger unkind words are said that make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind, and melt your cold cold heart
You'll never know how much it hurts to see you sit and cry
You know you need and want my love yet you're afraid to try
Why do you run and hide from lies, to try it just ain't smart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart
There was a time when I believed that you belonged to me
But now I know your heart is shackled to a memory
The more I learn to care for you, the more we drift apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart
Lyrics by Hank Williams.

I wanna hear it again, I wanna hear it again,
The Old Piano Roll Blues.
Sittin' at an upright, my sweetie and me,
We're pushin' on the pedals singin' sweet harmony.
I wanna hear it again, the rinkety-tink,
We cuddle closer it seems.
We kiss a-kiss a-kiss a-kiss away all our cares,
The player piano plays that good old razz-a-ma-tazz.
I wanna hear it again, I wanna hear it again,
The Old Piano Roll Blues.
They're the best I've ever heard,
When they play the ragtime jazz,
It makes me wanna cuddle, I wanna honey puddle,
I wanna say "skiddy-woo" and "razz-a-ma-tazz."
It's that ever-lovin' old piano roll
I get a funny feelin' down in my soul
So keep on syncopatin', while I keep palpatatin'
That old piano roll blues.
I wanna hear it again, I wanna hear it again,
The Old Piano Roll Blues.
Sittin' at an upright, my sweetie and me,
We're pushin' on the pedals singin' sweet harmony.
I wanna hear it again, the rinkety-tink,
We cuddle closer it seems.
We kiss a-kiss a-kiss a-kiss away all our cares,
The player piano plays that good old razz-a-ma-tazz.
I wanna hear it again, I wanna hear it again,
The Old Piano Roll Blues, you'd better believe it,
The Old Piano Roll Blues.
Lyrics by Cy Coben.
