Does anyone besides me remember this song? We had this on the b-side of some old red 78 rpm. But it was slightly different lyrics and not done by these guys. Still, I loved that song when I was a kid! ;).

I tried searching for the alternate lyrics for this and could not find them anywhere – nor could I find the song done by anyone but these guys. Strange. I was definitely a fan of this song when I was a kid too! 😉
I thought there was a different part in place of this, but maybe this part was just left out. Can’t find anything about anyone except those two singing it either.
[Father:]
Came home so late one evening last July
Played a little poker the time had passed me by
Shoes in my hand and my darlin’ wife in bed
Up the stairs sayin’ a prayer
Then a voice comes through the air ….
[Junior:]
Hi you there, Daddy
Remember what you said
Tell me a story, tell me a story
Tell me a story, remember what you said
Tell me how your eye got black
Because the doorway hit you back
Tell me a story, then I’ll go to bed
God I loved Frankie Laine when I was a kid! We used to sing this one all the time. I had no idea it was him! xxxkim
