I have the blues before sunrise, tears standing in my eyes
I have the blues before sunrise, tears standing in my eyes
It was a miserable old feeling now baby
A feeling I do despise

I gotta leave you baby
You know you done me wrong
I've gotta leave you baby
Cause you know you done me wrong
I gotta pack up and leave you darling
And break up my happy home

I've gotta leave you baby, I gotta leave you all alone
I've gotta leave you baby, I gotta leave you all alone
Well, I gotta leave you darlin
Because you know you done me wrong

[Guitar bridge]

Well now goodbye, goodbye baby
See you some rainy day
Oh, goodbye baby, I'll see you on some rainy day
Now you can go your way now darling
Cause I want you to have your way
