Sleep on a Clothes‐Line Lyrics

Rory Gallagher

I could sleep on a clothes line as easy as pie
I can′t keep my eyes open no matter how I try
I gotta sit down, I can't stay on my feet
I been up all night, I been walkin′ the street
Oh, yeah

Looking for my baby
But everywhere I've gone
Tell me I just missed her
It's gone on too long

Well, I′d go up on a mountain and I′d fight a wild cat
Walk over Niagara and all the way back
Get lost in the jungle and I'd live up a tree
That′s what I would want to do if you would stay with me
Oh, yeah

Looking for you, baby
Gone from pillar to post
Everywhere I'd just missed you, baby
By a minute at the most

Well, I′m looking for you, baby, in the cafes and the bar
All the places is glad to know you and they say you cannot go too far
But you've gone far enough, baby, I find out I′ve done nothing wrong
Don't have to ask who's the fool, I won′t be the one
Ow, not a loser

Well, I would sleep on the tail-plane of a Jumbo Jet
Walk over the ocean and I′d never once get wet
Go skating on an iceberg and that's what I would once do
Lay it down a dozen times just to hear you say "I Love You"

Looking for you, baby
But everywhere I go
Tell me I just missed you, baby
By a minute at the most

Well, I could sleep on a clothes line as easy as pie
I can′t keep my eyes open no matter how I try
I gotta sit down, I can't stay on my feet
I been up all night, I been walkin′ the street
Yeah

Looking for you, baby
Everywhere I go
Tell me I just missed you, baby
You know, it's gone on too long

Yeah
Gone too long, baby

Yeah
