well the stack is on the pavement
where the band played low
at yesterdays recital
in the golden glow
where i saw you at the corner
singin' like a bow
tonight, o tonight
o tonight is mine
to the boundaries of the world
to the end of time
to the commerades bugle
that blows out of time
to the voice of the boys
sitting by the yards
o tonight, tonight
tonight is mine
where the lonely battles
gather in the shade
to deal out the cards
of yesterdays game
there's a penny for you
if you come sweet Loraine
tonight, o tonight
o tonight you're mine
well you're not about to lose
if you blow it all away
though the dreams of the south
soon give it all a way
to the the drunk and the song
that kept you here to stay
tonight, o tonight
tonight is mine
