Sad Day lyrics

Someone woke me up this mornin'

And I lit a cigarette

Found myself when I stopped yawnin'

Started getting myself dressed

Then I felt that I had a dream

I remembered the things that I'd seen

I could still hear the things you said

With that bad dream in my head

It was a sad day, bad day

Sad day, bad day

So I called you on the phone

And your friend said, "She's not home"

So I told her where I'd be at

And that you should call me back

Then I looked at the morning mail

I was not even expecting a bill

Your letter a-started, "Dear"

And it left me with these tears

It was a sad day, bad day

Sad day, bad day

Think of the times that we had rows

But we patched them up somehow

Think of the times I tried to go

But you screamed and told me no

There is only one thing in this world

That I can't understand, that's a girl

I keep a-readin' the things you said

Like a bad dream in my head

It was a sad day, bad day

Sad day, bad day

Oh, what a sad, sad old day

A sad old day, it was a sad old day

A sad old day, it was a bad old day

A sad old day, a bad old day

If there is one awful thing in this world

That I can't understand, that's a girl

It was a sad, sad old day

Sad old day, it was a sad old day
