Mississippi John Hurt
Monday Morning Blues
I woke up this morning
I woke up this morning
I woke up this morning with the Monday morning blues
I couldn't hardly find
I couldn't hardly find
I couldn't hardly find my Monday morning shoes

Monday morning blues
Monday morning blues
Monday morning blues searched all through my bones
Monday morning blues
Monday morning blues
Monday morning blues made me leave my home

I've been laying in jail
I've been laying in jail
I've been laying in jail six long weeks today
Lord tomorrow morning
Lord tomorrow morning
Lord tomorrow morning gonna be my trial day

Lord, I asked the jury
Lord, I asked the jury
Lord, I asked the jury: What might be my fine?
--Get a pick and shovel
Get a pick and shovel
Get a pick and shovel, let's go down in the mine...
That's the only time
That's the only time
That's the only time I ever felt like cryin'
Mister, change a dollar
Mister, change a dollar
Mister, change a dollar, give me a lucky dime

Mmmmhmmmm
Mmmmmhmmmmm
Mister, change a dollar, give me a lucky dime

I woke up this morning
I woke up this morning
I woke up this morning with the Monday morning blues
