Leroy Carr Blues Before Sunrise Lyrics

I had the blues before sunrise : with tears standing in
my eyes
It's such a miserable feeling : a feeling I do despise

Seems like everybody : everybody's down on me
I'm going to cast my troubles : down in the deep blue sea

Today have been : such a long old lonesome day
I've been sitting here thinking : with my mind a million miles away

Blues starts a‑rolling : and it stops at my front door
I'm going to change my way of living : ain't going to
worry no more

Now I love my baby : but my baby won't behave
I'm going to buy me a hard‑shooting pistol : and put her
in her grave
