Sad Day

Someone woke me up this mornin' And I lit a cigarette Found myself when I stopped yawnin' Started getting myself dressed Then I felt that I had a dream I remembered the things I'd seen I could still hear the things you said With that bad dream in my head It was a sad day Bad day Sad day Bad day So I called you on the phone And your friend said, "She's not home" So I told her where I'd be at And that you should call me back Then I looked at the morning mail I was not even expecting a bill Your letter a-started "Dear" And it left me with these tears It was a sad day Bad day Sad day Bad day Think of the times that we had rows But we patched them up somehow Think of the times I tried to go But you screamed and told me, "No" There is only one thing in this world That I can't understand, that's a girl I keep a-readin' the things you said Like a bad dream in my head It was a sad day Bad day Sad day Bad day Oh, what a sad, sad, old day A sad, old day, it was a sad, old day A sad, old day, it was a bad, old day A sad old day, a bad old day If there is one awful thing in this world That I can't understand, that's a girl It was a sad, sad old day, sad old day It was a sad, old day
