Rob Getzschman - Good Morning Blues Lyrics

Now, this is the blues
You go to sleep at night
You lay your head down on the pillow
You roll from one side of the bed to the other
You can't sleep
What's the matter?
The blues have got you

You wake up in the morning
You throw your feet over the side of the bed
You may have a mother or father around
Sister or brother, husband or wife
But you don't want no talk out of them
What's the matter?
The blues have got you

You go down to the breakfast table
You sit down at your seat, you stare down at your plate. . .
But chicken and rice, take my advice, you stand up, you shake your head, you say
"Lord have mercy, I can't eat, I can't sleep, what's the matter?"
The blues have got you, wanna talk to you. Here's what you tell 'em

Good morning blues, blues how do you do?
Good morning blues, blues how do you do?
Well I'm doin' alright, good morning, how are you?

Well I went to sleep last night, darling, turnin' from side to side
Went to sleep last night, turnin' from side to side
Well I could not sleep, I was just dissatisfied

Well I woke up this morning with the blues walkin' 'round my bed
I woke up this morning with the blues walkin' 'round my bed
I couldn't even eat my breakfast 'cause the blues was all in my bread

Good morning blues, blues how do you do?
Good morning blues, blues how do you do?
Well I'm doin' alright, good morning, how are you?

You midnight ladies can make a moonlight man go blind
Yes you midnight ladies can make a moonlight man go blind
And it's just that I'm gonna make you take your time

I sent for you yesterday, baby, and baby, you came today
I sent for you yesterday, baby, and baby, you came today
You got your mouth wide open, no you don't know what to say

Somebody's diggin my potatoes, grabbin' all on my vine
Somebody's diggin my potatoes, grabbin' all on my vine
And I've got a funny feelin' restin' on my mind

Good morning blues, blues how do you do?
Good morning blues, blues how do you do?
Well I'm doin' alright, good morning, how are you?
