I woke up this morning : thousand things on my mind
Lord I thought about my troubles : could not keep from crying

I turned around : looked toward the sky
I said if these blues don't kill me : then I wasn't born to die

I lost all I had : everything I had to lose
I lost the one I love : I just can't lose these blues

And if I stay here : I'll be blue all the time
If I don't go crazy : then I will lose my mind
