about

Maybe the blues version of 'Don't Worry Be Happy'
Possiblement la version blues de 'Don't Worry Be Happy'

lyrics

I got the blues before breakfast
That low down feelin’ ‘fore dawn
I got the blues before breakfast
That low down feelin’ ‘fore dawn
I got a funky old feelin’
My baby’s gonna leave before long

Well I went to see the preacher
He said: “Boy it’s a cryin’ shame”
Well I went to see the preacher
He said: “Boy it’s a cryin’ shame”
“When a man can’t save his soul
A woman give him hell to pay”

Don’t get the blues before breakfast
Don’t get the blues before breakfast
Don’t get the blues before breakfast
Gotta save ‘em for a rainy day

I went to see my doctor
He said: “Son, better change your ways”
I went to see my doctor
And he said: “John, change your ways”
“You get the blues before breakfast
And you’ll end up in an early grave”

I went to see the lawyer
He said: “there ain’t no justice today”
I was in to see my lawyer
And he said: “there ain’t no justice these days”
“You get the blues before breakfast
Now the police come and take you away”
