The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
One of these mornings I'm sure gonna leave this town
One of these mornings I'm sure gonna leave your town
Cause a triflin' woman sure keeps a good man down
Yes she left me this morning midnight was turning day
She left me this morning midnight was turning day
I didn't have no blues till my good gal went away
I got the blues like midnight moon shining bright as day
I got the blues like midnight moon shining bright as day
I wish a tornado would blow my blues away
Here come them dobro
[ dobro ]
It's like in 1930
When a man is down and out a woman don't want him round
Hey when a man is down and out a woman don't want him round
But when a man's got money he's the sweetest guy in town
A woman will follow you right to the jailhouse door
Hey a woman will follow you right to the jailhouse door
Then she'll laugh and tell you that you can't fuss and fight no more
I got the blues like midnight moon shining bright as day Lord Lord
I got the blues like midnight moon shining bright as day
I wish a tornado would blow my blues away
Yodel le-ee yodel le-ee e-ee e-ee
