More Example Blues Lyrics
I woke up this mornin'
feelin blue as can be
(x2),
Ain't no hope for the future ain't no hope for me
.
I woke up this mornin' I was down and out (x2), Every day the same what's this life all about.
I woke up this mornin' lyin' in the road (x2), Like my mama told me I reaped what I sewed.
My money was out not a dime to my name (x2), Every day hungry every day the same.
Looking for a job but there ain't none to be found (x2), I ain't got no home here, it's time to leave this town.
No one wants to know me folks here mean and cold (x2) Say I won't work say I won't do what I'm told.
Found shelter in the barn here the rain was pouring fast (x2) I pray to God above can this bad luck really last?
