Lyrics

Blues When I Wake Up

Blues when I wake up in the morning

Blues when I lay down at night

I got blues when the sun is shining 

Blues when I turn out the lights 

I need a good hearted woman 

To love and treat me right

When I get back home to Texas

I’m gonna fall down on my knees

Thank the Lord above for mercy

I swear I’m never gonna leave

Got me a good gal down there

The sweetest woman I’ve ever seen

Well it’s been a month of Sundays

Since I’ve seen my woman smile

And it’s been so long since she kissed me

Lord it’s been such a long, long while 

There won’t be no sunshine

Just blowing sleet and rain

I won’t see no more clear skies

Until I can hold my baby again

I’ve got blues when I wake up in the morning

Blues when I lay down at night

I got blues when the sun is shining 

Blues when I turn out the lights 

I need a good hearted woman 

To love and treat me right

Dark clouds up above my head

Spinning round like a Hurricane 

Thunder and lightning all through the night 

It’s enough to drive a poor man insane

I would walk 500 miles

Until I’m back in her arms again

I’ve got blues when I wake up in the morning

Blues when I lay down at night

I got blues when the sun is shining 

Blues when I turn out the lights 

I need a good hearted woman 

To love and treat me right
