Well I got up this morning feeling sad and blue

I lost my baby now tell me what am I gonna do?

You know I'm so lonesome,

way these blues keep doggin'me

Yeah baby, but that's alright. I'll be up someday

Well when my baby left me he left me broken down

H e said good bye honey I'll see you in another town

I'm so lonesome, way these blues keep doggin' me

But baby that's alright, 'cause I'll be up someday

Now I've got to walk by myself, sleep by myself on account of the one I love keeps on lovin' somebody else

You know I'm so lonesome, way these blues keep doggin' me. Baby that's alright maybe I'll be up someday

And if I had listened to what my mother said well I'd be happy now sleeping in a GREAT BiG Bed
