Monday Morning Blues

by Mississippi John Hurt

1. I woke up this morning
I woke up this morning
I woke up this morning
With the Monday morning blues

2. I couldn't hardly find (3x)
My Monday morning shoes

3. Monday morning blues (3x)
Stays(?) Ached all through my bones

4. Monday morning blues (3x)
Made me leave my home

5. I been lyin' in jail (3x)
Six long weeks today

6. Lord, tomorrow morning (3x)
Gonna be my trial day

7. Well, I asked the jury (3x)
What might be my fine

8. Get a pick and shovel (3x)
Let's go down in the mine

9. That's the only time (3x)
I ever felt like cryin'

10. Well, my heart took sorrow (3x)
The tears come rollin' down

11. I woke up this morning (3x)
With the Monday morning blues
