David I Hope You Don't Mind - Country Teasers

David, you don’t do much singing these days

And your letters all say the same thing

The days melt into each other

With the pills you’re currently taking

David, I hope you don’t mind

That I’m borrowing one of your songs

I tried to translate the lyrics

But I got them wrong

Hey Ben, I’m feeling much better

Than I ever felt before

So thanks for your typewritten letter

But I don’t feel like singing anymore

I’m hearing your album just now, for the first time

You don’t sound like anyone else

I’m taking my pills and good care of myself

David, I hope you will write some more songs soon

And I hope I’ll write some more too

I hope we’ll write some together

In the way that you said we would do

David, I hope you don’t mind

That I’m borrowing one of your songs

I tried to translate the lyrics

But I got them wrong

On Saturday I was twenty three

But I look and feel like Jock Stein
