Lyrics

A SONG FOR MISSISSIPPI JOHN HURT
by Karen Robinson © 2009

I woke up this mornin’, I couldn’t even find my shoes
I woke up this mornin’, I couldn’t even find my shoes
I woke up this mornin’ with the Monday Mornin’ Blues

Heard Mississippi John Hurt sing all night ‘til half past 2
Heard Mississippi John Hurt sing all night ‘til half past 2
Stayed up all night to hear his Monday Mornin’ Blues

I came around by noon. I thought it was yesterday
Came around by noontime. Thought it was still yesterday
If I can’t find my shoes, then, may’s well get up anyway

I woke up this mornin’, I couldn’t even find my shoes
Heard Mississippi John Hurt sing all night ‘til half past 2
Woke up this mornin’ with those Monday, Monday Mornin’ Blues
