Good Morning Blues lyrics

Huddie Ledbetter, Alan Lomax)
Good mornin` blues, blues how do ya do?
Good mornin` blues, blues how do ya do?
Well I`m doin` alright this mornin`, how are you?

I woke up this mornin`
Couldn`t get outta my bed
Oh I woke up this mornin`
Couldn`t get you outta my bed
Went to eat my breakfast and
The blues was all in my bread

Good mornin` blues, blues how do you do?
Good mornin` blues, blues how do you do?
Well I`m doin` alright this mornin` how are you?

Well the blues ain`t nothin` but a poor workin` man feelin` down
Lord, the blues ain`t nothin` but a poor workin` man feelin` down
That`s about the meagerest feelin` I done ever had

Why I`m singin` good mornin`, blues blues how do you do?
(yeah yeah)
Good mornin` blues, blues how do you do? (yeah yeah)
Well I`m doin` alright this mornin`, how are you?

(Instrumental- piano)

Sent for you yesterday, here you come walkin` today (hey)
I sent for you yesterday, here you come walkin` today
Yeah, your mouth`s wide open
You don`t know what to say

(I say) Goodmornin` blues, blues how do you do? (yo yeah)
Well goodmornin` blues, blues how do you do? (hoo yeah)
Well I`m doin` alright, blues how are you?
Yeeeeeaaaah!
