Van morrison good morning blues lyrics

Huddie Ledbetter, Alan Lomax)

Good mornin' blues, blues how do ya do?

Good mornin' blues, blues how do ya do?

Well I'm doin' alright this mornin', how are you?



I woke up this mornin'

Couldn't get outta my bed

Oh I woke up this mornin'

Couldn't get you outta my bed

Went to eat my breakfast and

The blues was all in my bread



Good mornin' blues, blues how do you do?

Good mornin' blues, blues how do you do?

Well I'm doin' alright this mornin' how are you?



Well the blues ain't nothin' but a poor workin' man feelin' down

Lord, the blues ain't nothin' but a poor workin' man feelin' down

That's about the meagerest feelin' I done ever had



Why I'm singin' good mornin', blues blues how do you do? 

(yeah yeah)

Good mornin' blues, blues how do you do? (yeah yeah)

Well I'm doin' alright this mornin', how are you?



(Instrumental- piano)



Sent for you yesterday, here you come walkin' today (hey)

I sent for you yesterday, here you come walkin' today

Yeah, your mouth's wide open

You don't know what to say



(I say) Goodmornin' blues, blues how do you do? (yo yeah)

Well goodmornin' blues, blues how do you do? (hoo yeah)

Well I'm doin' alright, blues how are you?

Yeeeeeaaaah!
