Good morning, blues, please shake hands with me

Good morning, blues, please shake hands with me

I've got the blues this morning, just as low as I can be



How can I sleep nights, baby, when you turn your back on me

How can I sleep nights, baby, when you turn your back on me

I'm gonna take my troubles, go down by the sea



You can eat 'n my kitchen, sleep in my bed

Fall down in my arms, pretty papa, rest your worried head

'Cause I need, need some loving now

I ain't got no one to love me, weeooo, like you know how



I woke up this morning with the rising sun

I woke up this morning with the rising sun

My pretty papa's a jockey, and he sure don't ride for fun



If you see my jockey, I said please tell him hurry home

If you see my jockey, I said please tell him hurry home

I ain't had no loving, Lord, since my jockey been gone



My jockey rode this morning, and my love come falling down

My jockey rode this morning, and my love come falling down

Said, "I'll be your monkey woman, but please don't lead me around"



Take a race horse to run, a jockey to ride around

Take a pretty sealskin papa, make my love come down

'Cause I don't feel welcome, sleeping by myself
