Well I woke up early with the mornin´ blues
  With an achin´ head that I wished I´d used
  Looked in the mirror, nearly died of fright
  These mornin´ blues is worse than ten last nights
  
  I got the mornin´ blues
  Oh so bad
  Honey come and hug me
  They´re the worst I ever had
  
  Now a nickel´s worth o´grease and dime´s worth of lard
  I would buy more but these times is too hard
  There ain´t no use for me to work this hard
  Cause I can live off the chickens in my neighbors´ yard
  
  I got the mornin´ blues
  Oh so bad
  Honey come and hug me
  They´re the worst I ever had
  
  Now I been in business and I been in love
  I used to fly high like a turle dove
  I´ve had the blues many a time
  But it was just some girl on this poor boy´s mind
  
  I got the mornin´ blues
  Oh so bad
  Honey come and hug me
  They´re the worst I ever had
