[Verse 1]
Woke up this morning, blues all around my bed
Woke up this morning, blues all around my bed
I didn't have my daddy to hold my achin' head

[Verse 2]
Now the blues ain't nothin', but a woman wants to see her man
I know the blues ain't nothin', but a woman wants to see her man
'Cause every time my man leaves me, Lord knows I feel so bad

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
You can never tell what's on a brown-skin man's mind
You can never tell what's on a brown-skin man's mind
He'd be huggin' and kissin' you, and quittin' you all the time
