Capo 2

             E
One of these mornings, I'm sure gonna leave this town
A                                               E
One of these mornings I'm sure gonna leave this town
         B7                                   E 
'Cause a triflin' woman sure keeps a good man down

Yes, she left me this morning, midnight was turning day
She left me this morning, midnight was turning day
I didn't have no blues till my good gal went away


Chorus:
          E
I got the blues like midnight moon shining bright as day
          A                                          E 
I got the blues like midnight moon shining bright as day
  B7                                  E 
I wish a tornado would blow my blues away


When a man is down and out a woman don't want him round
Hey, when a man is down and out a woman don't want him round
But when a man's got money he's the sweetest guy in town.

A woman will follow you right to the jailhouse door
Hey, a woman will follow you right to the jailhouse door
Then she'll laugh and tell you that you can't fuss and fight no more.

Chorus

Yodel le-ee yodel le-ee e-ee e-ee...
