Hoppy's Gone
Composer(s): Larry Henley; Red Lane; Johnny Slate
Performer(s): Roger Miller



Hang it up boys
Yesterdays and dreams and matinees
Like tinker toys they fell apart today
Well almost anyway
Hoppy's gone

Bed em Down, boys
Put your cowboy boots and guns away
The broomstick horse just up and died today
And so did Saturdays
Hoppy's gone

Rock-a-bye yesterday
Winds blow and cradles will fall
And down comes the curtain
And all of a lifetime of mem'ries live on
Hoppy's gone, boys, hoppy's gone

Hang it all up boys
Yesterdays and dreams and matinees
Like tinker toys they came apart today
Best just let it lay
Hoppy's gone
Rock-a-bye yesterday
Winds will blow and cradles will fall
