Was a dream,
just a dream I had on my mind
Was a dream,
a dream I had on my mind
When I woke up this morning,
not a thing could I find
Well, I dreamed I was in heaven,
I was sittin' down by the throne
Dreamed I had a pretty angel
layin' right back in my arms
But it was a dream,
just a dream I had on my mind
When I woke up this mornin',
not one angel could I find
Well, I dreamed of plenty horses,
plenty numbers too
Dreamed I won so much money
that I did not know what to do
But it was a dream,
just a dream I had on my mind
When I got out of bed this morning,
not a penny could I find
Well, I dream I was in the White House
Sittin' down in the President's
chair
Dreamin' that he shook my hand
Sayin', Ronnie boy, I'm glad you're here
But it was a dream
Just a dream I had on my mind
When I woke up this morning,
not a chain or a goddamn
thing could I find
When I dreamed I was married,
had a mermaid for my wife
Dreamed I'd worn the Brooklyn Bridge,
I was down on my knees and shooting dice
But it wasn't a dream,
just a dream I had on my mind
When I woke up this morning,
there wasn't a thing I could find
Well, I dreamt again that I was married
Raised me up a family
Dreamed I had ten children
And they all just looked at me
But it was a dream
Just a dream I had on my mind
When I woke up this mornin'
I was knocked out, put out, fined
