| Someone woke me up this mornin' and I lit a cigarette
|
| Found myself when I stopped yawnin', started
|
| Getting myself dressed
|
| Then I felt I had a dream, I remembered the
|
| Things I’d seen
|
| I could still hear the things you said with that bad
|
| Dream in my head
|
| It was a sad day, bad day, sad day, bad day
|
| So I called you on the phone and your friend said
|
| «She's not home»
|
| So I told her where I’d be at and that you should
|
| Call me back
|
| Then I looked at the morning mail, I was not even
|
| Expecting a bill
|
| Your letter a-started «Dear», and it left me
|
| With these tears.
|
| It was a sad day, bad day, sad day, bad day
|
| Think of the times that we had rows, but we
|
| Patched them up somehow
|
| Think of the times I tried to go, but you screamed
|
| And told me no
|
| There is only one thing in this world that I can’t
|
| Understand, that’s a girl
|
| I keep a-readin' the things you said, like a bad
|
| Dream in my head
|
| It was a sad day, bad day, sad day, bad day
|
| Oh, what a sad, sad, old day — a sad, old day
|
| It was a sad, old day
|
| A sad, old day it was a bad, old day,
|
| Sad old day a bad old day
|
| If there is one awful thing in this world that I can’t
|
| Understand, that’s a girl
|
| It was a sad, sad old day, sad old day
|
| It was a sad, old day |
