Lyrics
Hey Now
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.
Well, did you ever wake up in the morning?
Just about the break of day
Reach over and rub the pillow
Where your baby used to lay
Hey now!
Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now
Well, you know they make you feel so bad
That you lay right down and die
Then you put on your crying
Like you've never cried before
You even cry so loud
You give the blues to your neighbour next door
And you say, hey now!
Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now
Well, you know they make you feel so bad
That you lay right down and die
Well, i got the blues so bad now
And i'm just hurt my feet to walk now
Well people, i got the blues so bad now
People i justa hurt my tonky-tonk now
Chorus
Then you cry lord, lord
Won't you hear my plea?
I know you can help (much) more than anybody
So won't you please send a little bit down to me?
Chorus
