[Verse 1]
Well, did you ever wake up in the morning?
Just about the break of day
Reach over and rub the pillow
Where your baby used to lay

[Chorus]
Hey now!
Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now
Well, you know they make you feel so bad
That you lay right down and die

[Verse 2]
Then you put on your crying
Like you've never cried before
You even cry so loud
You give the blues to your neighbour next door

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Well, I got the blues so bad now
And I'm just hurt my feet to walk now
Well people, I got the blues so bad now
People I just hurt my tonky-tonk now
Then you cry Lord, Lord
Won't you hear my plea?
I know you can help (much) more than anybody
So won't you please send a little bit down to me?
