midnight turning day blues blue yodel no 6

Merle Haggard

One of these mornings I m sure gonna leave this town
One of these mornings I m sure gonna leave your town
Cause a triflin woman sure keeps a good man down

Yes she left me this morning midnight was turning day
She left me this morning midnight was turning day
I didn t have no blues till my good gal went away

I got the blues like midnight moon shining bright as day
I got the blues like midnight moon shining bright as day
I wish a tornado would blow my blues away

Here come them dobro

[ dobro ]
It s like in 1930

When a man is down and out a woman don t want him round
Hey when a man is down and out a woman don t want him round
But when a man s got money he s the sweetest guy in town

A woman will follow you right to the jailhouse door
Hey a woman will follow you right to the jailhouse door
Then she ll laugh and tell you that you can t fuss and fight no more

I got the blues like midnight moon shining bright as day Lord Lord
I got the blues like midnight moon shining bright as day
I wish a tornado would blow my blues away
Yodel le-ee yodel le-ee e-ee e-ee
