I've Got the Morning Blues

歌詞

Been in business and I been in love I used to fly high like a turtledove Had the blues many a-time Just a woman on a poor man's mind I got the mourning blues, oh so bad Honey, come and kiss me, they're the worst I've ever had Ashes to ashes and its dust to dust Show me a woman that a man can trust Nickel's worth of grease and a dime's worth of lard I would buy them all but the times is so hard I got the mourning blues, oh so bad Honey, come and kiss me, they're the worst I've ever had There ain't no use of me a-working so hard For I got a woman in the white folk's yard She brings me meat and she brings me pie Me eats some of everything the white folks buy I got the mourning blues, oh so bad Honey, come and kiss me, they're the worst I've ever had She brings me chicken and she brings me cake You just ought to see me lick that plate A big honey biscuit and a mutton chop Will make a n*****'s lips go flippy flop I got the mourning blues, oh so bad Honey, come and kiss me, they're the worst I've ever had Lassus a fellow right over there He's got blue eyes and he's got black hair Talking to his sweetheart, she looks so neat She calls him honey, and he calls her sweet I got the mourning blues, oh so bad Honey, come and kiss me, they're the worst I've ever had There stands a feller right over yonder He looks just like he wants to ponder Look at that hair all around his mouth Like he swallered a mule and left the tail a-hanging out I got the mourning blues, oh so bad Honey, come and kiss me, they're the worst I've ever had
