Well, did you ever wake up in the morning?
Just about the break of day
Reach over and rub the pillow
Where your baby used to lay

Hey now
Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now
Well, you know they make you feel so bad
That you lay right down and die

Then you put on your crying
Like you've never cried before
You even cry so loud
You'll give the blues to your neighbor next door

And you say, hey now, hey now
Hey now, hey now, hey now
They'll make you feel so bad
That you lay right down and die

Well, I got the blues so bad now
I'm tellin' ya it just hurt my feet to walk now
I got the blues so bad now
People I justa hurt my tonky-tonk now

Hey now, hey now
Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now
They'll make you feel so bad
That you lay right down and die

Then you cry, 'Lord, Lord
Won't you hear my plea?
I know you can help much more than anybody
So won't you please, send a little bit down to me? '

Hey now, hey now
Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now
They'll make you feel so bad
That you lay right down and die
