Letra de Fo' Day Blues

I woke up this mornin', 'tween midnight and day
I woke up this mornin', 'tween midnight and day
I woke up this mornin', 'tween midnight and day
I felt for my rider, she done eased away
Sweet mama, sweet mama, your papa double do love you
Sweet mama, sweet mama, papa double do love you
I says, crazy about the way sweet mama do
My rider got somethin', I really don't know what it is
My rider got somethin', I really don't know what it is
When I wake up in the mornin' can't keep my body still
My rider got somethin', they call it the sting-a-ree
My rider got somethin', called it the sting-a-ree
I wake up every mornin' I'm worryin', worryin' poor me
I'm goin', I'm goin', mama, ain't comin' here no more
I'm goin' away, mama, ain't comin' here no more
I'm goin' away, mama, ain't comin' here no more
When you see me leavin', [?] on your door
Said the Mississippi River, mama, is long and deep and wide
The Mississippi River 'long and deep and wide
The Mississippi River 'long and deep and wide
I've got a lovin' fairy, she's on the other side
I'm goin' up the country, mama, honey, and I won't carry you
I'm goin' up the country, mama, I won't carry you
't ain't nothin' up the country, sweet mama, you can do
I'm gonna drink muddy water, sleep in a hollow log
Gonna drink muddy water, sleep in a hollow log
Then to be in Atlanta, treated like a dog
