Topic: "While My Baby Is Sleeping Alone"

While My Baby Is Sleeping AloneLyrics & Music By:  Wayne Fiala


(Male) [G]I'm a musician, that's my life long position.Somehow, I don't think I'm [C]wrong.


[D]I make a livin, playin guitar, and singing my popular [G]songs.


I write the lyrics, create the music, some-times the croud sings a[C]long.


[D]I like the night life, it's not a bad life, singing into a micra[G]phone.


[G]I sleep when it's day time, work when the moon shines, playin another Honky [C]Tonk;


for a [D]hundred bucks, plus tips, free drinks-N-tater-chips, while my Baby is sleeping a[G]lone.




Yes, [C]I'm a musician, that's my life long position. Somehow, I don't think I'm


[G]wrong. [C]I like the night life it's not a bad life, but I [D]don't like my Baby sleeping a[G]lone.


[D]So, [C]I told my wife,I could give her a better life,if I got a regular [C]job.She [D]put her


arms around me, gave me a kiss, then said:(Female) You are what you [G]are.




[G]You're a musician, that's your life long position. Somehow, I don't think you're [C]wrong.


You [D]make us a livin, playin guitar,and singing your popular [G]songs.


You write the lyrics,create the music,some-times the croud sings a[C]long.



[D]You like the night life, it's not a bad life, singing into a micra[G]phone.


You sleep when it's day time, work when the moon shines, playin another Honky [C]Tonk;


for a [D]hundred bucks, plus tips, free drinks-N-tater-chips, while your Baby is sleeping a[G]lone.


But some [C]day some Big Star, will play his guitar, and "sing" your popular [G]songs.


Then you can stay home, your Baby won't sleep alone, and [D]you can teach me to, play gui[G]tar.


(Male & Female)[D]Now, [G]we're both musicians, that's our life long positions.


Somehow, we don't think we're [C]wrong.[D]We love the night life, it's not a bad life,


singing into micra[G]phone's.We sleep when it's day time, work when the moon shines,


playin another Honky [C]Tonk; for two hundred bucks, plus tips, free drinks-N-tater-chips:


(Male)And, my Baby no longer, sleeps a[G]lone.


(Female)And, Your [D]Baby's no longer... sleeping a[G]lone.


Chord wise: This song is very simple.


It is the vocals bring this song alive!

Jody, this is really good.

Getting it onto the page in some kind of order would help, but the juice is there. Well done !

I like the way the story moves forward.

Thanks Bud_Wiser.

Sorry, I don't have a recording.  I have a camcorder now, so I'll try to get one done soon. I'll let you know when it is done if you would like.

Re: "While My Baby Is Sleeping Alone"

I love this piece.

Many years ago i had a full time day job, but my great love was singing with my group most evenings at that time.
Ya know i never felt tired. Id always eat early in the day, so i could have better breath control when singing.
Very important not to eat a big meal if your going singing for some hours..  Drink loads of water also.
Ah, them was the real good ole days.
Thanks for the reminder of same.

Be happy and keep doing what your doing.

Re: "While My Baby Is Sleeping Alone"

I now have a video for this song on youtube.  Sorry, the singing isn't all that great.  I'm slowly loosing my voice.  But, you'll get the melody I'm sure.  People at the clubs really like it!
