Awoke this morning Feeling blue In this weary old bed today. I been lucky But it’s so lonely ...And my baby is so far away. I keep smilin’ Full of joy Everyone is happy to play. I love singing Throughout the night But my baby is so far away. Tomorrow mornin’ Get up and drive To another working day. Talk to the owner Set the stage Get ready to sing and play. Still smilin’ Full of joy Everyone is happy to play. I love singing Throughout the night But my baby is so far away. Another party A really good time It gives me laughter and joy I love the blues Everything about it It’s how I feel each day. But it’s been so long In this empty bed It drives me outta my mind. I been lucky But it’s so lonely And my baby is so far away, And my baby is so far away, And my baby is so far away.
