When I Woke Up This Morning

Jimmy Reed · Other Songs - Jimmy Reed

When I woke up this mornin', I was in my bed alone

I woke up this mornin', I, I, was in my bed alone

I thought I was dreamin' but the woman I had was gone



I spent ten years in a steel mill, every cent would come home with pay

I spent ten years in the steel mill, every cent it come home with my pay

I was workin' on seven eleven an' that's when she go out an' play



I don't care about the money she spend,

neither, the clothes she put on his back

I don't care about the money she would spend,

neither, the clothes you put on his back

Yeah, but things from seven eleven, he was laid up in my shack
