Blues Before Sunrise Songtext
von Leroy Carr with Scrapper Blackwell

I had the blues before sunrise with tears standing in my eyes
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
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
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
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
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
