Lord, I woke up this morning, baby, just as blue as I could be
Lord, I got up this morning, baby, just as blue as I could be
It just seems like the world, baby, Lord, honey, is turned thei' back on me
Lord, I haven't got a dollar, not a single dime
Lord, baby, not a dollar, honey, and not a single dime
It just seems like hard luck, baby's gonna just last me all the time
Says, my clothes gettin' raggedy, Lord, my shoes 'bout gone
Lord, my clothes is gettin' raggedy, and my shoes 'bout gone
Lord, I'm out in the weather, baby, Lord, honey, I surely ain't got no home
Says, when I had plenty money, I was the popularest one in this town
Lord, I had plenty money, baby, I was the popularest one in this town
Now, I ain't got no money, Lord, my friends tryin' to throw me down
Lord, all my sweeties don't none pay me no mind
Lord, all my sweeties don't none pay me no mind
It just seems like hard luck, baby, gonna just last me all the time
