Every mornin', about half past ten.
Every morning, about half past ten.
It seems like, my troubles just begin.

If I only knowed what to do, to keep these blues away.
If I only knowed what to do, to keep these blues from ‘round my door.
If I only had a sweet woman, I wouldn't have the blues no more.

But it seems like nothin' I can do, to keep these blues away.
Seems like nothin' I can do, to keep these blues away.
I've drinked and I gambled, when I find ‘em every day.

But I'm goin' to dodge these blues, people you just watch and see.
People I'm goin' to dodge these blues, you just watch and see.
I'm goin' to stop these blues, from worryin' me.
