Good morning, blues, please shake hands with me
 I've got the blues this morning, just as low as I can be

 How can I sleep nights, baby, when you turn your back on me
 How can I sleep nights, baby, when you turn your back on me
 I'm gonna take my troubles, go down by the sea

 You can eat 'n my kitchen, sleep in my bed
 Fall down in my arms, pretty papa, rest your worried head
 'Cause I need, need some loving now
 I ain't got no one to love me, weeooo, like you know how

 I woke up this morning with the rising sun
 I woke up this morning with the rising sun
 My pretty papa's a jockey, and he sure don't ride for fun

 If you see my jockey, I said please tell him hurry home
 If you see my jockey, I said please tell him hurry home
 I ain't had no loving, Lord, since my jockey been gone

 My jockey rode this morning, and my love come falling down
 My jockey rode this morning, and my love come falling down
 Said, "I'll be your monkey woman, but please don't lead me around"

 Take a race horse to run, a jockey to ride around
 Take a pretty sealskin papa, make my love come down
 'Cause I don't feel welcome, sleeping by myself
