One of these mornings I'm sure gonna leave this town
One of these mornings I'm sure gonna leave your town
Cause a triflin' woman sure keeps a good man down

Yes she left me this morning midnight was turning day
She left me this morning midnight was turning day
I didn't have no blues till my good gal went away

I got the blues like midnight moon shining bright as day
I got the blues like midnight moon shining bright as day
I wish a tornado would blow my blues away

Here come them dobro

[ dobro ]
It's like in 1930

When a man is down and out a woman don't want him round
Hey when a man is down and out a woman don't want him round
But when a man's got money he's the sweetest guy in town

A woman will follow you right to the jailhouse door
Hey a woman will follow you right to the jailhouse door
Then she'll laugh and tell you that you can't fuss and fight no more

I got the blues like midnight moon shining bright as day Lord Lord
I got the blues like midnight moon shining bright as day
I wish a tornado would blow my blues away
Yodel le-ee yodel le-ee e-ee e-ee
