Well, I woke up early
With those morning blues
Had an aching head
That I wished I could lose
And I looked in the mirror
Nearly died of fright
Those morning blues
Ten times worse than last night
I got the morning blues
Hurt so bad
Honey, come and love me
They're the worst I ever had
Well, a nickel's worth of grease
And a dime's worth of lard
I would buy more
But the times is too hard
And I don't see why
I have to work so hard
I can live off the chickens
In my neighbor's yard
I got the morning blues
Hurt so bad
Honey, come and love me
They're the worst I ever had
Well, I've been in the army
And I've been in love
I used to fly high
Like a turtle dove
And I've had these blues
For just the longest time
It's just some boy
On this poor girl's mind
I got the morning blues
Hurt so bad
Honey, come and love me
They're the worst I ever had
I got the morning blues
Hurt so bad
Honey, come and love me
They're the worst I ever had
