Lyrics Every Day in the Week Blues - Pink Anderson, Simmie Dooley

Every Day in the Week Blues

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
