recording of 19
from,
Come daybreak in the morning, I'm gonna take the dirt road home
Woo, soon daybreak in the morning, I'm gonna take the dirt road home
'Cause these Blue Monday
blues is 'bout to kill me, sure as you're born
Well, this man pitches a party, every first of the week
I can't cross the floor for other people's feet
Come daybreak in the morning, I'm gonna take the dirt road home
Well, I went to my kitchen, intendin' to eat a bite
The table was crowded from morning till night
Come daybreak in the morning, I'm gonna take the dirt road home
(spoken:
All right, Little Son Joe
Yes, I know, keep on playing
I'll come home)
Hey, now I turned around, aimed to go to bed
There's four at the foot and six at the head
Come daybreak in the morning, I'm gonna take the dirt road home
