Lyrics
I had the blues before sunrise with tears standing in my eyes
I had the blues before sunrise with the tears standing in my eyes
It’s such a miserable feeling, a feeling I do despise
Seems like everybody, everybody’s down on me
Seems like everybody, woooo, everybody’s down on me
I’m gonna cast my troubles down in the deep blue sea
Today has been such a long old lonesome day
Today has been a long old lonesome day
I’ve been sitting here thinking with my mind a million miles away
Blues starts to rolling and it stops at my front door
Blues start to rolling, woo, and it stops at my front door
I’m gonna change my way of living, ain’t going to worry no more
Now I love my baby but my baby won’t behave
I love my baby, woooo, but my baby won’t behave
I’m gonna buy me a hard shooting pistol and put her in her grave
