It's tough to understand. While it uses "this morning, this evenin', so soon" at the end of each verse, the tune is more like "Fishin' Blues" (You get a line and I'll get a pole, honey) -Joe- |

Hope somebody will have time to hear and transcribe the words Merle did a version of "I HAD A LITTLE MULE) in 1971 with Johnny GIMBLE And another in 1977 in an album called "LEGENDARY PERFORMER" but the song was called "THIS MORNIN' THIS EVENIN' SO SOON" SAme melody but different words You told about "FISHIN' BLUES" but I know this song by the name of "THE CRAWFISH HOLE" Claude |

Now old Bill's wife she was baking bread this morning, Now old Bill's wife she was baking bread this evening, Now old Bill's wife she was baking bread They came and told her Bill was dead This morning, this evening, so soon. Oh no, that can't be so, this morning, Oh no, that can't be so, this evening, Oh no, that can't be so Bill only left for town half an hour ago This morning, this evening, so soon. They brought Bill home on a hurry-up wagon this morning, They brought Bill home on a hurry-up wagon this evening, They brought Bill home on a hurry-up wagon His head was down and his feet were dragging This morning, this evening, so soon. |
