Every Day in the Week - Pink Anderson/Simmie Dooley

I woke up this morning

What you reckon was on my mind

My brown told me to leave but I told her I just wasn't gwine

Woke up singing this morning

When the clock was striking four

All I heard my baby crying daddy please don't go

Show me the train

You call the cannonball

That's the train don't stop a'tall

My momma told me

When I was but a child

That there's good times now but terrible after a while

If you ride the seaboard

I ride the L & N

Momma that's the train'll sure carry me in the wind

My momma told me

When I was four years old

You gonna be around a woman god bless your soul

Lord a mean old fireman

A cruel old engineer

Took my good girl and left me standing here

I'm gon' buy me a manger

I wanna carry it to the sky

So I can see my baby when she comes passing by

Well I took this brown skinned woman

From my best friend

And that rascal got lucky and stole her back again

I woke up this morning

Ah with the rising sun

Said go away day and let tomorrow come

Singing my blues

And I sing 'em when I please

I sing these blues to give my poor heart ease

Sometime I feel like

I done throw it away

Take this old guitar and whoop these blues all day

You must get your basket brownie

And make it into them woods

If you don't find an old apple you must make black berries good
