Woke up this morning, mama, 'tween midnight and day
Woke up this morning, mama, 'tween midnight and day
I reached for my sugar and the fool had stoled away

Worried now, mama, and I can't be worried long
Worried now, mama, and I shan't be worried long
Mama, 'fore I'd be treated, be on the county farm

Wouldn't treat a dog, babe, like you treat me
Wouldn't treat a dog, babe, like you treat me
Wouldn't treat a dog, babe, like you treat me

Woke up soon this morning with my face all full of frowns
Woke up this morning, mama, with my face all full of frowns
I didn't have no sugar now to squeeze up in my arms

Mama, that's all right, sugar, that's all right for you
That's all right, mama, that's all right for you
Well you know you got me just the way you do
