Billy Ray Charles - "Nursery Rhymes"

There is something about Billy Ray Charles' voice that I just love.  I want him to sing a love song to me. Lol I know a few of his songs but Nursery Rhymes is my absolute favorite.  I love the guitar solo, the music, the melody, and everything about this song.  Billy's niece wants to hear him tell her a fairy tale story before she goes to bed and like a good uncle, he tells her a story. It's not your typical red riding hood story - this girl wasn't very good.

So you want to hear a nursery rhyme, well I got a nursery rhyme for you!.

Once upon a time like in fairy tales
Where the bad guy never survives, no
I came home early and like papa bear
I couldn't believe my eyes

Chorus
Somebody been sitting in my chair
Somebody been eating my porridge
Somebody been sleeping in my bed
And like the three little bears, there won't be no happy ending
No happy ending

Let me talk to you
Won't be no rescue, no hero
This time it won't save the day
Red riding hood's been a bad girl
Gave all her cookies away

Chorus
Somebody been sitting in my chair
Somebody been eating up, eating up my porridge
Somebody been sleeping in my bed
And like the big bad wolf, and there won't be no happy ending
No happy ending

Won't be no rescue, won't be no hero, no
This time it won't even save the day
Red riding hood, she's been a bad, bad girl
Gave all her cookies away, away

Chorus
Somebody been sitting in my chair
Somebody been eating, eating my porridge
Somebody been sleeping, sleeping in my bed
And like the big bad wolf, there won't be no happy ending
No happy ending

Humpty dumpty sat on the wall
Humpty dumpty, he had a great fall
And all the king's horses, and all the king's men
Couldn't put humpty back together again
No happy ending
Ain't got no happy ending
Little red riding hood just ain't no good
She gave all her cookies away
I'm like a big bad wolf gonna blow your house down
