DEAD WILLIE BLUES ~
                      Mike Cross

I did not wake up this mornin'
I did not get out of bed
I looked down from the ceiling,
And I saw that I was dead...I got those...

(CHORUS):
Dead Willie Blues,
Old Dead Willie Blues--
Well, how long have I had 'em?
These old Dead Willie Blues.

My wife called from the kitchen
Said "Get up, it's time for work."
Then she came in here and found me
Lyin' cold and dead as dirt. With these old...

CHORUS

The doctor came to see me
And then he told my wife,
"I think he's dead," but my wife said,
"He's like this every night!" He's had them...

CHORUS

Undertaker came to get me
And my wife said through her tears,
"I wish you wouldn't haul him off
He ain't been this stiff in years!" He's had them...

CHORUS
