Got the blues in the morning, I believe that's far too long
Got the blues in the morning, now baby it stayed too long
It's hardcore baby but I've got to sing this song

Maybe frayed around the edges but a little bit loose outside
Strong around the edges but really, really loose inside
I'm long gone honey, you ain't going to be my bride

Blues in the morning and baby they last too long
Me got the blues in the morning and baby they last too long
Had a hard-on baby but now it's come and gone

Holes in my pocket, baby don't ask me why
They got holes in my pocket but baby don't ask me why
I bought you everything and now you want to say goodbye

Got a picture of your face and I hold it up to the light
Got a picture of your face and I hold it up to the light
But on a good day baby it sure gives me a fright

I had the blues in the morning and I had them far too long
I had the blues in the morning and I had them far too long
Come back baby and see if we can get along

Blues in the morning but they keep on all day long
Got the blues in the morning but baby they'd last too long
I don't care 'cause I'm a billionaire

Ha, ha

Ha...

Bobby Keys brings everything to a session that he brings to life. He brought the true spirit of rock & roll... I'm glad we captured his last moments. He's rocking to the end.

It's the most straight-ahead rock & roll you can get.
