Lonnie Johnson - I Have No Sweet Woman Now (1926) lyrics

When the sun rose this morning, I was laying on my floor.

When the sun rose this morning, I was laying on my floor.

And when the moon begin to shine, the blues was all ‘round my door.

I lay down at two o'clock, something happened at three.

I lay down at two o'clock, something happened at three.

I woke up through my dream, to worried blues beating on poor me.

Nothin' I can do, nothin' I can say.

Nothin' I can do, there's nothin' I can say.

I was so mean to my baby, I drove my babe away.
