Hey Now

Ray Charles · Blues Routes Ray Charles [2011]

Well, did you ever wake up in the morning?

Just about the break of day

Reach over and grab the pillow

Where your baby used to lay



Hey now, hey now

Hey now, hey now, hey now

Well, you know they make you feel so bad

That you lay right down and die



Then you put on your crying

Like you've never cried before

You even cry so loud

You'll give the blues to your neighbor next door



And you say, hey now

Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now

They'll make you feel so bad

That you lay right down and die



Well, I got the blues so bad now

I'm tellin' ya it just hurt my feet to walk now

Well people, I got the blues so bad now

People I justa hurt my tonky-tonk now



Hey now, hey now

Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now

They'll make you feel so bad

That you lay right down and die



Then you cry, "Lord, Lord

Won't you hear my plea?

I know you can help much more than anybody

So won't you please, send a little bit down to me?"



Hey now, hey now

Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now

They'll make you feel so bad

That you lay right down and die
