Chirpin' the Blues - Alberta Hunter, Fletcher Henderson

I woke up this mornin', heard somebody calling me

I woke up this mornin', heard somebody calling me

My man had packed his grip, said he was leaving for Tennessee

Bad luck and trouble, looks like they’re on me to stay

Bad luck and trouble, looks like they’re on me to stay

But good luck is old fortune, and it’s bound to fall my way

Lord I’m worried now, but I won’t be worried long

I said I’m worried now, but I won’t be worried long

It takes a worried woman to trust this worried song

If the blues where whiskey, I’d stay drunk all the time

If the blues where whiskey, I’d stay drunk all the time

Till the man I love would ease my troubled mind
