Originally done by Uncle Dave Macon. I think the Jug Band added some lyrics.
I'VE GOT THE MOURNING BLUES
Uncle Dave Macon
Been in business and I've been in love
I used to fly high like a turtle dove
Had the blues many a time
just a girl on a poor boy's mind
I got the morning blues
Oh so bad
Honey come and kiss me
They're the worst I've ever had
Nickel's worth of grease, Dime's worth of lard
I would buy more but the times are too hard
Ain't no need for me to work so hard
'Cause I can live off the chickens in the neighbors yard
Woke up this morning with a pain in my head
So I crawled right back in bed
Alone in the morning make you feel so bad
lonesome blues make you feel so sad
