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

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?



Chorus
