I've got the blues before sunrise
Tears standing in my eyes
I've got the blues before sunrise
Tears standing in my eyes
It's such a miserable feeling
A feeling I do despise

Seems like everybody
Everybody's down on me
Seems like everybody
Everyone's down on poor me
I'm gonna take my troubles
Cast them in the deep blue sea

Yes, I love my baby
But my baby won't behave
Yes, I love my baby
But my baby won't behave
I'm gonna buy me a forty-five
Put my baby in her grave
