Linda Ronstadt - Morning Blues Lyrics

Traditonal arrangement by

Auldridge, Gaudreau, Coleman and Klein

Well I woke up early with those morning blues

Had an aching head that I wished I could lose

And I looked in the mirror, nearly died of fright

Those morning blues, ten times worse than last night



I got the morning blues

Hurt so bad

Honey come and love me

They're the worst I ever had



Well, a nickel's worth of grease

And a dime's worth of lard

I would buy more but the times is too hard

And I don't see why I have to work so hard

I can live off the chickens in my neighbor's yard



I got the morning blues

Hurt so bad

Honey come and love me

They're the worst I ever had



Well I've been in the army and I've been in love

I used to fly high like a turtle dove

And I've had these blues for just the longest time

It's just some boy on this poor girl's mind



I got the morning blues

Hurt so bad

Honey come and love me

They're the worst I ever had



I got the morning blues

Hurt so bad

Honey come and love me

They're the worst I ever had
