Woo, soon daybreak in the morning, I'm gonna take the dirt road home
 'Cause these Blue Monday blues is 'bout to kill me, sure as you're born

 Well, this man pitches a party, every first of the week
 I can't cross the floor for other people's feet
 Come daybreak in the morning, I'm gonna take the dirt road home

 Well, I went to my kitchen, intendin' to eat a bite
 The table was crowded from morning till night
 Come daybreak in the morning, I'm gonna take the dirt road home

 (spoken:
 All right, Little Son Joe
 Yes, I know, keep on playing
 I'll come home)

 Hey, now I turned around, aimed to go to bed
 There's four at the foot and six at the head
 Come daybreak in the morning, I'm gonna take the dirt road home
