Lyrics
When I woke up this morning, everything seemed all right
My woman called me from New York City. She said, "Darlin', did you sleep well last night?"
She told me I got three checks in the mail. Hallelujah! I got a refund on my union dues
But when I woke up this morning, I musta had someone else's blues
I swear I don't know why. I don't know why I feel this way
Well, I got, I got someone else's blues in the midst of an almost perfect day
i don't owe anyone any more money. All my cavities are filled
If I pull my hand outside my pocket too fast, I might drop a couple of fifty-dollar bills
I got more dope than I can smoke. I got more chicks than I can use
Somehow when I woke up the morning, I guess I had somebody else's blues
I swear I don't know why. I don't know why I feel this way
You know I got someone else's blues in the midst of an almost perfect day
I swear I don't know who the man is that this trouble belongs to
I wonder did he do a murder? Great God, what did that man do?
He's a no-good lying rascal, but I guess he's pretty smart
Cuz he's outside havin' himself a real fine, sweet, happy time and his blues are right here, breaking my heart
I swear I don't know why. I don't know why I feel this way
I got someone else's blues in the midst of an almost perfect day
