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

[Chorus]
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 neighbor 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
I'm tellin' ya it just hurt my feet to walk now
I got the blues so bad now people
It justa hurt my tongue to talk now

[Chorus]

Then you cry Lord, Lord
Won't you hear my plea?
I know you can have mercy on everybody
So won't you please send a little bit down to me?
