Blues Before Sunrise - Champion Jack Dupree, Willie Dixon, Clifton James

Have the blues 'fore sunrise, tears standing in my eyes

I have the blues before sunrise, tears standing in my eyes

Said the miserable feeling

A feeling I do despise

Seem like everybody, everybody’s down on me

Seem like everybody, everybody’s down on me

I’m gon' change my way of living

Head my trouble in the deep blue sea

Well, I love my baby but my baby won’t be here

Well, I love my baby but my baby won’t be here

I’m above hard chewed and pissed off

I’m gon' put her down in her grave

And in a mean old world you’re living all by yourself

And in a mean old world you’re living all by yourself

If I can’t get you

I’ma get somebody dead
