Nobody Knows The Way I Feel This Morning

Nobody knows the way I feel this mornin'

Oh, nobody knows the way I feel this mornin'

Well, if I only had my way

Don't you know the graveyard would be the place

My man would lay

Nobody knows the way I feel this mornin'

I pawned everything that I had this mornin'

Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah

I pawned everything I could get my hands on this mornin'

I pawned my ring, gold watch and chain

I would have pawned myself

But don't you know I felt kind of ashamed

Nobody knows the way I feel this mornin'

Lord, Lord, I feel I could scream

Scream and cry this mornin'

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I feel like I could scream, scream and cry this mornin'

I feel like I could scream, I holler and cry

But I'm too stouthearted, I'd rather die

'Cause nobody knows

Nobody knows the way I feel this mornin'

Girls, let me tell you

If your man stays out all night till mornin'

I said if your man stays out

And don't come home till mornin'

Don't waste your breath by fussin' at him

Just maul him on the head with your rollin' pin

'Cause nobody knows

Nobody knows how I feel this mornin'

Yeah, yeah, I feel like I could scream

Scream and cry this mornin'

Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, I feel like I could scream

Yeah, scream and cry this mornin'

I feel like screamin' and I could cry

But I'm too stout hearted, don't you know I'd rather die

'Cause nobody knows the trouble I've seen

And nobody knows the way I feel this mornin'

I'd rather be a sinker on a fishin' line this mornin'

I know you heard me I said

I 'd rather be a sinker on a fishin' line this mornin'

I'd rather be a sinker on a fishin' line

Than to have my mind frustrated all the time

'Cause nobody knows

Nobody knows the way I feel this mornin'

I even hate to hear my daddy's name this mornin'

Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, I hate to hear

I hate to hear my daddy's name this mornin'

I even hate to hear, to hear your name

I can kill you quicker than an express train

'Cause nobody knows

Nobody knows the way I feel this mornin'

Well, well, well

Nobody knows the way I feel this mornin'

Oh, nobody knows the way I feel this mornin'

Lord, nobody knows the way I feel

I ain't gonna holler but I'm gonna squeal

'Cause nobody knows

Nobody knows the way I feel this mornin'

I'm leavin' here

On a southbound train this mornin'

Oh, I'm leavin' here

On a southbound train this mornin'

I'm leavin' here on a southbound train

Nothing's gonna bring your sweet baby back here again

'Cause nobody knows the way I feel this mornin'
