***Songs To While The Time By- The Roots Is The Toots- Lonnie Johnson's Tomorrow Night (Move over Elvis and everybody else who ever covered this song), move way over. 
 


A YouTube clip to give some flavor to this subject.

Over the past several years I have been running an occasional series in this space of songs, mainly political protest songs, you know The Internationale, Union Maid, Which Side Are You On, Viva La Quince Brigada, Universal Soldier, and such entitled Songs To While The Class Struggle By. This series which could include some protest songs as well is centered on roots music as it has come down the ages and formed the core of the American songbook. You will find the odd, the eccentric, the forebears of later musical trends, and the just plain amusing here. Listen up-Peter Paul Markin

Tomorrow night, will you remember what you said tonight?
Tomorrow night, will all the thrills be gone?

Tomorrow night, will it be just another memory?
Or just another lovely song thats in my heart to linger on?

Your lips are so tender, your heart is beating fast,
And you willingly surrender, tell me darling, will it last?

Tomorrow night, will you be with me when the moon is bright?
Tomorrow night, will you say those lovely things you said tonight?

Tomorrow night, will you remember what you said tonight?
Tomorrow night, will all the thrills be gone?

Tomorrow night, will it be just another memory?
Or just another lovely song that's in my heart to linger on?

Your lips are so tender, your heart is beating fast,
And you willingly surrender, tell me darling, will it last?

Tomorrow night, will you be with me when the moon is bright?
Tomorrow night, will you say those lovely things you said tonight?
