Well, did you ever wake up in the morning? Just about the break of day Reach over and rub the pillow Where your baby used to lay [Chorus] Hey now! Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now Well, you know they make you feel so bad That you lay right down and die Then you put on your crying Like you've never cried before You even cry so loud You give the blues to your neighbor next door And you say, hey now! Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now Well, you know they make you feel so bad That you lay right down and die Well, I got the blues so bad now I'm tellin' ya it just hurt my feet to walk now I got the blues so bad now people It justa hurt my tongue to talk now [Chorus] Then you cry Lord, Lord Won't you hear my plea? I know you can have mercy on everybody So won't you please send a little bit down to me?
