Charlie s Shoes:Guy Mitchell.
#110 in 1961.
INTRO:
#1.
I d like to be in Charlie s shoes, that s what I always said.
Cause he had you, and everything, tied with golden thread.
Then Charlie left and went away, and when I got the news..
it wasn t long till I was walking around in Charlie s shoes.
CHORUS:
Now I m wearing out the shoes that Charlie wore.
Walking back and forth across the floor.
The troubles that drove him away I ve got for company..
these nights in Charlie s shoes are killing me.
(INTERLUDE:)
#2.
The greener grass that turned my head, so swiftly did turn brown.
Cause every little dream I build, she s always tearing down.
I never knew old Charlie s shoes could have so many tacks..
of disappointing sorrows and I wish he had them back.
CHORUS:
Cause I m wearing out the shoes that Charlie wore.
Walking back and forth across the floor.
The troubles that drove him away I ve got for company..
these nights in Charlie s shoes are killing me.
OUTRO:
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
