There seemed to be a lot of C&W crossovers in late '65 - early '66, and
this one by the Statler Brothers was the biggest of the bunch (#4). --AWR
"Flowers On The Wall"
(Lew DeWitt)
Verse 1:
C Am
I keep hearin' you're concerned about my happiness
D7 G
But all that thought you've given me is conscience I guess
C Am
If I were walkin' in your shoes, I wouldn't worry none
D7 G
While you and your friends are worryin' 'bout me, I'm havin' lots
of fun
Chorus:
Am
Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all
Playin' solitaire 'til dawn, with a deck of fifty-one
F
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' "Captain Kangaroo"
G
Now don't tell me
F G
I've nothin' to do
Verse 2:
Last night I dressed in tails, pretended I was on the town
As long as I can dream it's hard to slow this swinger down
So please don't give a thought to me, I'm really doin' fine
You can always find me here and havin' quite a time
[repeat chorus]
Verse 3:
It's good to see you, I must go, I know I look a fright
Anyway, my eyes are not accustomed to this light
And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete
So I must go back to my room and make my day complete
[repeat chorus]
Coda:
F G
Don't tell me
F G
I've nothin' to do
G C
