Cow Hooking Blues

Woke up this morning, just about the break of day
Woke up this morning...
Woke up this morning, just 'bout the break of day

I hugged my pillow, mama, 'baby used to lay
I hugged my pillow...
I hugged my pillow where my baby used to lay

She keeps me worried...
She keeps me worried...
...Me worried, and bothered all the time

She don't come back tonight, I b'lieve I'll lose my mind
Don't come back, I...
Don't come back, I bl'lieve I'll lose my mind

Baby, baby
Oh, please, baby, try me one more time

'S my babe, man, I wished you'd let her alone
That's my baby...
That's my babe and I wished you'd let her alone

'Been for you, my babe would've stayed at home
Hadn't've been for you, man...
Hadn't've been for you, my babe would've stayed at home

[Humming]

Bring me some whiskey, drive these blues away
Bring me some whiskey...
Got them low-down blues and had 'em all day

Blues jumped a rabbit, run him a solid mile
Blues jumped a rabbit...
The blues jumped a rabbit, run him a solid mile

Took the blues this morning, cried like a child
Took the blues this morning...
Took the blues this morning, cried just like a child

It's your time now, baby, be mine after a while
It's your time now...
It's your time now, babe, be mine after awhile

One thing, man, your babe can't do
Just one thing, man...

Can't be mine and somebody else's, too
And you can't be mine...
