Blue Yodel - No. 12 Songtext
von Hank Snow

Sorrow struck me one mornin′
At the break of day
Sorrow struck me one mornin'
At the break of day
′Cause a mean old man
Came and took my gal away


When I woke up
There was nothin' to do, but rave
When I woke up
There was nothin' to do but rave
I knew she didn′t want me
What she wanted was a slave

Since my mama′s gone
I got that achin' heart disease
Since my mama′s gone
I got that achin' heart disease
It works just like a cancer
Gonna kill me by degrees


When I met you, baby
I had a brand-new pair of shoes
When I first met you, baby
I had a new pair of shoes
Take a look at me now
I′ve got them barefooted blues
