Tommy ''Jim Beam'' And The Four Fifths - Golden Boy

GOLDEN BOY
(T.J. Beam)
TOMMY "JIM" BEAM & THE FOUR FIFTHS
(SPARKETTE 1004, 1959)

Well, the night was dark, the cold wind fell down
You said I was the hottest thing in town
And you swore I was your golden boy

Shining eyes with a-golden hair
I found a new love on the day you cared
When you said I was your golden boy

Oh well, the price of virtue must have dropped a lot
Something happened and you were gone
Loving me was a waist of time
Now your golden boy ain't worth a dime

I know some place on this earth I'll find
Somebody who's got a heart that'll beat like mine
Without you, this life that you destroyed

When I find somebody and you wait and see
I'll belong to her and then I'll be
Someone else's golden boy

(Golden boy, golden boy)

Well, the price of virtue must have dropped a lot
Something happened and you were gone
Loving me was a waist of time
Now your golden boy ain't worth a dime

I know some place on this earth I'll find
Somebody who's got a heart that'll beat like mine
Without you, this life that you destroyed

Oh, I'll find somebody and you wait and see
I'll belong to her and then I'll be
Someone else's golden boy
