Sarah Vaughan - On The Other Side Of The Tracks Lyrics

Sarah Vaughan Lyrics

"On The Other Side Of The Tracks"

On the other side of the tracks
That is where I'm gonna be
On the other side
Of that great divide
Between fame and fortune and me
Gonna put my shadows behind me
Give my inhibitions the ax
And tomorrow morning you'll find me
On the other side of the tracks

On the other side of that line
Where the life is fancy and free
Gonna sit and fan
On my fat divan
While the butler buttles the tea
But for now I'm facing the fences
And I can't afford to relax
While the whole kaboodle commences
On the other side of the tracks

So I'm off and running
Over the rail
I'm going gunning
After the quail
Off and running
Send me the mail
To the great big world on the other side
The great big world on the other side
The great big world on the other side of the tracks

On the other side of the tracks
That is where I'm gonna be
On the other other side
Of that great divide
Between fame and fortune and me
I'm gonna put my shadows behind me
Give my inhibitions the ax
And tomorrow morning you'll find me
On the other side of the tracks

On the other other side of that line
Where the life is fancy and free
I'm gonna sit and fan
On my fat divan
While the butler buttles the tea
But for now I'm facing the fences
And I can't afford to relax
While the whole kaboodle commences
On the other side of the tracks

So I'm off and running
Over the rail
I'm going gunning
After the quail
Off and running
Send me the mail
To the great big world on the other side
The great big world on the farther side
The great big world on the other side of the tracks
The other side
The other side
Big o'l world on the other side of the tracks
