Morning Blues

Chad Crumb at Clifftop 2007. He recorded this tune with the Chicken Chokers in the 1980's. Their recording of Polecat Blues is the soundtrack to this video. The band Primitive Characters shared some players.

Key of D. Two parts.

I been in business, I been in love.I used to fly high like a turtle dove.I had the blues, many a time.Just another girl on a poor boy's mind.I got the morning blues. I got 'em so bad.Oh! Mama come and kiss me, about the worst I ever had.It's up the morning. I got a pain in my head.And so I crawl right back in bed.The morning blues make me feel so bad.It's the worst feeling I ever had.I got the morning blues. I got 'em so bad.Oh! Mama come and kiss me, about the worst I ever had.It's a nickle's worth of grease, a dime's worth of lard.I'd a bought more but the times are so hard.Ain't no use in me working so hard.When I can live off the chickens in my neighbor's yard.I got the morning blues. I got 'em so bad.Oh! Mama come and kiss me, about the worst I ever had.The sun was still shining, I couldn't get up.I guess I ain't never get out of this rut.Sometimes I chew tobacco, sometimes I cool my heels (?)Sometimes I get so lonesome, Lord, you know how it feels.I got the morning blues. I got 'em so bad.Oh! Mama come and kiss me, about the worst I ever had.
