[Chorus]
I woke up this morning baby
The blues was pouring out of me

[Bridge]]
With all the soul that I can
I woke up this morning baby

[Chorus]

[Verse 1]
A hundred times I said those words
Those words others wrote
With all my voice, with all my soul
With all the soul that I can
The blues like I learned it
I woke up this morning baby
But that morning, I understood
The hard work in the cotton fields
I was imagining in my cocoon
The hits, the blood, the mud weather
I was hurt while closing my eyes
His baby's far away[x2]
I have forgives, I have prayers
But the blues isn't sentences you throw in the air
I woke up this morning baby[x2]
But this morning you're really cold
You understand deep in your chest
All the blues are written for you
Oh, oh I feel, the blues in me
Nobody knows how I really feel
Nobody knows, nobody cares"
Oh, oh I feel, the blues in me
Nobody knows how I really feel
Nobody knows, nobody cares
Words are burning your one by one like if
Like if they are finally yours
Those blues were yours
I woke up this morning, the blues was pouring out of me
Nobody knows, nobody sees

[Outro]
With all my voice, all my soul, with all the soul that I can
The blues I was never taught
I woke up this morning, the blues was pouring out of me
Nobody knows, nobody sees
