Mississippi John Hurt
Monday Morning Blues (L.O.C. recordings, vol. 2)
[Verse 1]
Monday morning blues
Monday morning blues
Monday morning blues, searched all through my bones

[Verse 2]
I thought I'd write
I thought I'd write
I thought I'd write, but I believe I'll telephone

[Verse 3]
Oh, if she heard my heart
'She heard my heart
'She heard my heart, you might'a heard me crying

[Verse 4]
Lord, my heartstruck sorrow
Lord, my heartstruck sorrow
My heartstruck sorrow, the tears come rolling down

[Verse 5]
I've been layin' in jail
I've been layin' in jail
I've been layin' in jail, six long weeks today

[Verse 6]
In the morrow morning
The morrow morning
In the morrow morning, gon' be my trial day
[Verse 7]
Ask the judge, oh, baby
Ask the judge, oh, baby
Ask the judge, what might be my crime

[Verse 8]
Get a pick and shovel
Get a pick and shovel
Get a pick and shovel, let's go down in the mine

[Verse 9]
That's the only time
That's the only time
That's the only time, I ever felt like cryin'

[Verse 10]
Lord, my heartstruck sorrow
Lord, my heartstruck sorrow
My heartstruck sorrow and the tears come rolling down

[Verse 11]
Mister, change a dollar?
Mister, change a dollar?
Mister, change a dollar, give me a lucky dime
