Lead Belly
Good Mornin’ Blues
[Intro]
Let me tell you about the blues
Now you might not know what it is
But everybody got the blues
When you can't sleep at night
And you roll the other side
And you feeling so down
What’s the matter, boy?
The blues got to ya?
[Verse 1]
When you wake up in the morning
You got your mom or dad or brother or sister and aunt talking at ya
But you don't wanna do them nothin'
What’s the matter, boy?
The blues got to ya?
[Verse 2]
When you put your feet down on your table
You may have chicken and rice, take my advice you got to walk away
And say "Lord that was..."
What's the matter, boy?
The blues got to ya?
Next time that goes down, you got something to say back
[Chorus]
Good Mornin' Blues!
How do you do?
Good Mornin' Blues!
How do you do?
Well, I'm doing all right, how are you?
[Verse 3]
Didn't sleep at all last night
Rolled to the other side
I didn't sleep at all last night
I rolled to the other side
Well I was feeling all right
Only dissatisfied
[Verse 4]
Ask me why I'm feeling so down
In the summertime
You ask me why I feel so down
In the summertime
The boss can’t get to me, he don’t pay no (?)
[Outro]
Good Mornin' Blues!
How do you do?
Good Mornin’ Blues!
How do you do?
I'm feeling all right, feeling all right how are you?
How are you?
