Well I woke up early with the mornin' blues With an achin' head that I wished I'd used Looked in the mirror, nearly died of fright These mornin' blues is worse than ten last nights I got the mornin' blues Oh so bad Honey come and hug me They're the worst I ever had Now a nickel's worth o'grease and dime's worth of lard I would buy more but these times is too hard There ain't no use for me to work this hard Cause I can live off the chickens in my neighbors' yard I got the mornin' blues Oh so bad Honey come and hug me They're the worst I ever had Now I been in business and I been in love I used to fly high like a turle dove I've had the blues many a time But it was just some girl on this poor boy's mind I got the mornin' blues Oh so bad Honey come and hug me They're the worst I ever had
