Champion Jack Dupree – I Had A Dream lyrics

Man, you know one thing I always dream...
Yeah
And that's the one thing in the world for a hard workin' man to do,
You know

I know they was mine, man, I know that (In the dream you mean!)
But when I woke up this morning, not a baby did I see

Well I dream I got married, I got married to a millionaire
Boy I was in the money, wasn't I? (A millionairess!)
Yes I dream I got married, I got married to a millionaire
She took me down to the bank (uh-uh), she said, Jack Dupree, all your money's in there!

But I turned over in my bed and I grabbed my pillow and put it over my head
(uh-uh)
Yes, I turned over in my bed, grabbed my pillow and put it over my head
Because that was the worst dream I never had
For a second I thought I was dead

Wake me up, s
