The song is by Webb Pierce and starts of with "Woke Up This Morning, My Baby Was Gone". Does anyone know the title of the song?

Thanks

I am trying to find it. But let me take the opportunity, Cookie, to welcome you here and to suggest that you join. As it says, "Membership has its benefits"!

Now back to the search...

It's not Webb, but the BB King lyrics are here.
Lyrics copy-pasted from the link cited above.
-Joe Offer-

Woke Up This Morning
Composers: B. B. King (his version is here, too) & Jules Taub. Recorded 1955.

Woke up this morning
My baby was gone
Woke up this morning
That old gal was gone
I ain't got nobody
To call my own

Whoa baby, come on home to me
Whoa baby, come on home to me
I feel so bad
I'm in misery

Whoa baby, I'm all alone
Mmm, you know I'm all alone
I ain't got nobody
To call my own

Whoa baby, come on home to me
Whoa baby, come on home to me
I feel so bad
I'm in misery

(sax solo)

Baby I'm all alone
Mmm, you know I'm all alone
I ain't got nobody
To call my own

Whoa baby, come on home to me
Whoa baby, come on home to me
I feel so bad
I'm in misery


WOKE UP THIS MORNING (MY BABY'S GONE)
(King, Taub)

I woke up this morning, my baby was gone
Woke up this morning, my baby was gone
I've been so bad, I'm all alone

I ain't got nobody stayin' home with me
I ain't got nobody stayin' home with me
My baby she's gone, I'm in misery

Well baby, I'm all alone
Yes baby, I'm all alone
I ain't had no lovin'
Since my baby's been gone
All right... (guitar solo)

Oh baby, I'm all alone
Oh baby, I'm all alone
My baby she's gone, I'm in misery

Oh baby, come on stay with me
Yes baby, come on stay with me
My baby she's gone, I'm in misery

Oh baby I'm all alone
Oh baby I'm all alone
I ain't had no lovin' since my baby been gone

From: Gary T

Reminded me of Jimmie Rodgers' "Traveling Blues." Don't know if this might be what you're after, but here tis:

I had a dream last night I thought my good gal had gone
Well I woke up this morning she really had done me wrong
I know it's not fair but my good gal has done caught air

I'm goin' away leavin' today I'm gonna bring my baby back
If that eight wheel driver don't jump the railroad track
I take her from that man gonna bring her home if I can

My gal's been triflin' round about a week I know
Several of my friends just told me so and so
She's findin' new man and now I can't understand

So I'm goin' away...

Well it's true my baby's gone I know it won't be long
We'll both be on that train my baby's coming home again
She's been triflin' round but now she has turned him down

Yeah I'm goin' away...
