I Like To Sleep Late In the Morning (S.David Cohen)
Some [G] gal told me [C] today
Boy you’re wasting your life[G] away
She said it’s bad how I spend my [C] time
She said that I never make a [G] dime
Chorus
I told her that I [C] like to sleep late in the [G] morning
I [C] don’t like to wear no [G] shoes
I Make [C] love to the women [G] while I’m living
Get [D] drunk on a bottle of [G] booze
Now I [G] know I can’t go on living this [C] way
Being broke from day to [G] day
I got to stop this running [C] around
Get a job and settle [G] down
Repeat Chorus
I know this can’t go [C] on
Yes, I should get up at [G] dawn
And get a job and do it [C] right
Be in bed by 8 each [G] night
Repeat Chorus
Hey I know there is not a lot waiting for [C] me
Straight as how it should [G] be
I’ll be smiling all the[C] time
Get my haircut and sleep and [G] shine
Repeat Chorus
This gal told me [C] today
David you’re wasting your life[G] away
She said it’s bad how you spend my [C] time
She said that I never make a [G] dime
Repeat Chorus

Fabulous! Been listening to David Bromberg for 50 years and he's like a fine wine. Just gets better with age. His documentary on Prime is great.

[@benfordcameron7619]

At 67 I concur, been a fan since 1974! Salem Oregon long hair!

[@TonySchopp]

An extremely joyous and talented fella. David’s a true musical wizard.

[@jwilliams8210]

Fantastic! I also LOVE the 12-string guitar version he did (Midnight on the water?) , which I never could learn how to play! David Bromberg is LIT/FIRE as the 'Gen-Zs / Millenials" say (that means fantastic for us older folks LOL)!

[@jamesbrown55]

I love that he was surprised when everybody started singing along

[@carolyngarman1422]

I love that song!

[@daviddavid-cu8nz]

I love this guy. His voice hasn't changed a bit.

[@alessandrorossini8704]

He's just a genuine human being, that's the best part of this man.

[@terrylafond3112]

Got to see him 4 or 5 times including once last year. First, in the late70's. Quite the talent.

[@ceciliasullivan5447]

David, you have been the soundtrack of my life since the late 70's when I bought the Midnight on the Water Album. I hear your voice every day!! You are still the best! I saw you at Parkers in Seattle about 1989: just you alone, and it was a fabulous night I will never forget. Thank you, love you David.

[@susanrotella4726]

I used to go Westberry music fair and see him and Arlo😍

[@tonyschram1260]

David’s like a fine wine, he gets better with age!👍👍👍👍

[@marcfilippone181]

A National Treasure!

[@FeWaDeWi87]

That moment everyone starts singing :-) great!

[@levinton1]

Last night Bromberg (6-10-20230 had his last New York City concert with his big band. A joyous evening with a great appreciative crowd at the Beacon. Marvelous, funny, great...right to the end. He of course joked about it and mentioned how many thanked him for retiring. Not the audience. Not me. He is still great at so many types of music. Maybe he will change his mind.... Think I saw his first big concert at Town Hall.

[@bman2321]

Incredible thumb action...greatest. Love you David

[@DriftinAndDreamin]

Comedy and talent at it's best!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love you DAVID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@rodneykitchen3869]

a great Dave Cohen song !

[@fundy86]

A very talented and devoted audience is the fuel that drives this genius. When they got better he got better.

[@pageluvva]

Nice comment

[@beachdog67]

Plenty other reasons as well, but by the gods you gotta love an artist that calls out the sound guy From The Stage for praise. Worked a bunch of shows for David at the old Boarding House and GAMH in San Francisco back in the '70s. He was always a delight musically and personally. Oh, and indeed, nice job Wayne.

[@harrysmusicroom]

I love your play list!

[@kevincaldwell9202]

Been listening to David ever since 1972, before I 1st saw Him & Band at a Gym in a Jersey City College, St. something, 1974(?) Got a picture of me & him in the green room from Count Basie's in Red Bank NJ right behind me on the wall

[@Bottiglianelleonde]

Great, great, great David!

[@timgrady3529]

I saw David perform in Tampa years ago at a small dive bar called Skipper's. It's near the University and on a Friday night they had a full house. Thinking he probably wasn't well known in a little dive bar in Florida, I figured all these kids didn't know who he was. So he launches into this song, which has always been a favorite of mine, and when he gets to the chorus, every single person in the place sang along....so much for that theory... ;-)

[@ultimateazhole]

Very nice, was lucky enough to see him in 2018 at the Virginia Wolfe theater in Scottsdale, good and fun show, and great guests

[@tybeedawg]

Thanks. He's one of my favorites.

[@charlespeterson3798]

I saw him with his band sometime around 1975, at The Armory, T.F Idaho. 150 people present and the last concert my friend ever promoted. Also the night 3 feet of snow between the opening of the show and when, on driving home we saw David and his band pushing a Winnebago north on Blues Lakes, in the direction of Boise. Not long after that I heard he quit show business and started working on fiddles. He obviously has kept his chops. Great Cat.

[@Skibear99]

I've seen him 3 times that I can recall. He played at Kutztown State college in Pennsylvania on a bill with Maria Muldower, a free concert in Boston, and at Carnegie Hall where he played the fiddle that he made. Always a fantastic show. I'll have to look for the documentary on Prime. Thanks for the recommendation!

[@urwhtur1]

Loved seeing you in New Orleans back in 76

[@timflynn2136]

If this doesn't make you feel good and laugh and cry alittle your dead.

[@michaelpaglia3219]

Seen him 4 times. Always fantastic

[@ashleynonegiven4856]

This was the first song I heard by David Bromberg. Still one of my favorites. My dad's the one who had me listen to this song, and others by David Bromberg- I gotta share this video with him

[@LeoJBatt]

Incredible!!! Love me some David!!!

[@BlinDefender]

Midnight On The Water is my favorite Bromberg album. Thanks for putting this up.

[@DominiqueNicolay]

Reminds me of an old friend of mine. Thk you.

[@williamgiovannettone5935]

Fantastic

[@sallisboa4569]

Excellent!!..my neighbor recommend me to this Artist..thank you Riley..🙏

[@muhrvis]

All time greatest turnaround at the end. Hilarious!

[@MarcBrewer]

Thank you for posting this gem.

[@MrSammyt53]

Just watched a video, an interview with DB from 5 years ago. I apologize that I had not seen it before. It answered why I lost track of David for 22 years. My older brother and I were fans starting in the Delia/Sammy's Song Era. I was blessed to have witnessed his art while living in the New Orleans area during the 70s/80s. Saw DB on the riverboat, at Jeds on Oak St. And my wife and I were serenaded by David's fiddle playing on the floor at Tipatinas! My favorite tune of his is Someone Elses Blues. Still listen to 'that' era all the time. Thanks Mr. Bromberg for your musical influence in my life. We're in our late 60s and happily retired in northeastern Mississippi. Hope this brought back a few good thoughts.

[@guitarvocs]

That smile at 1:07 is priceless!

[@Baci302]

Great view of David's playing. Thanks for posting.

[@ceebee18]

50+ years, still at it. How bout Allegheny College, PA, 10-73? Keep it goin. 👍 2 U.

[@a1a2ca1]

The MAN ! Seems like we saw David in June of '72, opening for John Prine, at The Boarding House.

[@skeymoson]

What a great crowd .... they really sound awesome . I'm gonna see DB soon in a small venue in Texas and I hope the audience is as good .

[@johndemmer3496]

DB is a gem.

[@mikeagesen4887]

What a treasure.

[@richardmindemann6935]

Been with him since the Jerry Jeff days. This is not his song, but he's a great songwriter. I've heard him disparage his writing ability. He'd better not do that in front of me. For those who need proof, check out Kaatskill Serenade, or Sharon. Genius stuff.

[@resslerartstudios]

Would love hear and see the whole show!

[@terryzaza5822]

Australia needs a visit

[@bsaunderson9779]

Thank for posting!

[@ericlevy553]

Awesomeness

[@muhrvis]

Great crowd!

[@Bonspieler]

The man is the consummate performer. I've see him over 45 shows over the years. Just don't shout out a request!!

[@jamesjackovich5886]

That rag pickin is a complicated beautiful sound, American music at its best

[@mymusicroom1]

great

[@michaelricca9982]

“I Like to Sleep...” was composed and recorded, by: another David...David Blue (Stuart David Cohen). His tune, “Outlaw Man” was “covered”, by: The Eagles. Blue employed Don Felder, prior to The Eagles. Blue didn’t get, much, recognition.

[@aagepaus102]

The list also included Toms Waits who performed with this song in 1977. David Blue RIP

[@JJKoester]

Wayne, you're good.

[@Writer538]

He performed at Humboldt State University a few years ago. What a guitar player!!! Anyone know what guitar he's playing?

[@SergeCeyral]

Looks like a modern basic D model Martin (Road or X series) : a perfect travel and stage guitar, not too expensive or fragile. Not extraordinary, but decent, with a built-in sensor. DB used to play wonderful high-end guitars (DB signature Martin OM-42), in the past, but it looks like he's less wealthy today (or afraid to take his beloved babies on the road!)

[@robertcudlipp3426]

Only know Dave, sort of, via his early connection with Jerry Jeff. Will, after hearing his great picking and story telling look up far more material. Btw, how often do you find a crowd like that? Class.

[@captainkangaroo4301]

Back when David played guitar in Jerry Jeff Walkers Band this was a staple along with Walkers Mr. Bojangles and Ian Tyson’s Summer Wages. David still plays them with regularity in his shows. Different websites give both Walker and Bromberg writing credit for this song. Was it a collaboration or which one actually wrote it?

[@mandowayne]

written by S. David Cohen AKA David Blue
