True Blues by Priscilla Stewart
Performed by
Priscilla StewartTrue Blues Lyrics
[Verse 1]
On one Monday mornin', on my way to school
On one Monday mornin', on my way to school
It was on that morning I really broke my mama's rule
[Verse 2]
Early one mornin', just about the break of day
Early one mornin', just about the break of day
I called for my daddy, but he had gone away
[Instrumental Break]
Hey, play it, Mr. Blythe, and I don't mean "maybe"
[Verse 3]
When I leave this town, don't pin black crepe on my door
When I leave this town, don't pin black crepe on my door
For I won't be dead but I ain't comin' back here no more
[Verse 4]
I'm gonna sing this verse and I ain't gonna sing no more
I'm gonna sing this verse and I ain't gonna sing no more
For my daddy's come home and I've really got to go
