I woke up this morning: blues all around my bed
I never had no good man: I mean to ease my aching head
Well, pretty near all night long
Well I swear before God: the man I’m loving is doing wrong
Well I’m going away: swear the time ain’t long
If you don’t believe I’m leaving daddy: count them days I’m gone
You done caused mc to weep baby: and I swear you done caused me to moan
Well you know by that rider: that I ain’t going to be here long
Well: what evil have I done
Well it must be something: my man have heard before he gone
Lord I’m going to get drunk: and I’m going to walk the streets all night
Because the man that I’m loving: I swear he sure don’t treat me right
