lightnin' hopkins - woke up this morning lyrics

woke up this morning
went down to the store
man said ” what you want son ?”
i said ” just a little bit more”
cos i been working in the fields
i been drunk in the town
my eyes raised up to heaven
but lord i keep falling down
i’m tired and i’m troubled
all tattered and torn
my boot heels all busted
my welcome out worn
still i get up every morning
i work hard and i lie
sure would like to see just one thing
real pretty fore i die
maybe that’s why i travel
why i wandered away
some things you don’t rightly know
some you can’t hardly say
but i been all over missouri
and i been down to the sea
and you know in my heart now
you’ll travel with me
through the hurt and the hoping
the rain and the snow
i ain’t bitter or broken
i want you to know
for the few steps we shared
for our time on the road
cuz to you i unburdened
just a bit of my load
we each got our own troubles
our own ideas and beliefs
and the lord surely knows
we done got our own griefs
still i got up this morning
and i threw some clothes on
and i fixed me some coffe
then i wrote you this song
