Well, did you ever wake up in the morning?
Just about the break of day
Reach over and grab the pillow
Where your baby used to layHey now, hey now
Hey now, hey now, hey now
Well, you know they make you feel so bad
That you lay right down and dieThen you put on your crying
Like you've never cried before
You even cry so loud
You'll give the blues to your neighbor next doorAnd you say, hey now
Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now
They'll make you feel so bad
That you lay right down and dieWell, I got the blues so bad now
