I woke up this morning, good gal on my, on my, on my mind
Woke up this morning, good gal on my mind
Woke up this morning, good gal on my mind
She's a sweet little woman, hate to leave her behind
Ever dream like you wake up cold, cold in hell?
Ever dream like you wake up cold in hell?
Ever dream like you wake up cold in hell?
It's a sure sign, baby, your woman's got another man
Well my right side's jumpin, flesh begin--flesh begin to crawl
My right side's jumpin--
My right side's jumpin, flesh begins to crawl
That's a sure sign, baby, another mule kickin in my stall
If you don't want me, please don't let me, let me, let me know
Oh you don't want me--
Well a man like me needs some place to go
I'm troubled in mind, guess I always, always, always will
I been troubled in my mind, guess I always will
I been troubled in my mind, guess I always will
But trouble in love sure gonna get me killed
If I mistreat you, babe, sure don't mean no, mean no, mean no harm
If I mistreat you, baby, don't mean no harm
Yeah, I mistreat you, baby, don't mean no harm
I'm a motherless child and I don't know right from wrong
I woke up this morning, good gal on my, on my, on my mind
Woke up this morning--
Yes I woke up this morning, good gal on my mind
She's a sweet little woman, hate to leave her behind
