Early this mornin', baby, blues was knockin' at my door Early this mornin', baby, blues was knockin' at my door Well I had so much of trouble, I didn't know where to go Well, if I could only read, read my little baby's mind Lord, if I could only read, read my little baby's mind Well, I wouldn't be worried and bothered all the time Baby, you know you don't love me, please stop jivin' me You know you don't love me, why don't you stop jivin' me Well, you know it's better to be without you and to live on in misery Blues, go away and don't ever return no more Blues, go away, don't ever return no more You bring me the worst old feeling I ever had in my life before
