Cow Hooking Blues

Lyrics

Woke up this morning, just about the break of day Woke up this morning... Woke up this morning, just 'bout the break of day I hugged my pillow, mama, 'baby used to lay I hugged my pillow... I hugged my pillow where my baby used to lay She keeps me worried... She keeps me worried... ...Me worried, and bothered all the time She don't come back tonight, I b'lieve I'll lose my mind Don't come back, I... Don't come back, I bl'lieve I'll lose my mind Baby, baby Oh, please, baby, try me one more time 'S my babe, man, I wished you'd let her alone That's my baby... That's my babe and I wished you'd let her alone 'Been for you, my babe would've stayed at home Hadn't've been for you, man... Hadn't've been for you, my babe would've stayed at home [Humming] Bring me some whiskey, drive these blues away Bring me some whiskey... Got them low-down blues and had 'em all day Blues jumped a rabbit, run him a solid mile Blues jumped a rabbit... The blues jumped a rabbit, run him a solid mile Took the blues this morning, cried like a child Took the blues this morning... Took the blues this morning, cried just like a child It's your time now, baby, be mine after a while It's your time now... It's your time now, babe, be mine after awhile One thing, man, your babe can't do Just one thing, man... Can't be mine and somebody else's, too And you can't be mine...
