I woke up in the morning

Heard a mockingbird sing

Was he laughing at me

I went to the basin washed the sleep out my eyes

So I could see

A note on the bed close to where my lover should be

She slipped away in the night

The writing was shaky and with tears on the sheets

I'm sorry we had a fight

So farewell sweet lover farewell

I'm sorry we never said goodbye

So farewell sweet lover farewell

Left with a tear in your eye

Must've been brewing for a very long time

In the wardrobe the hangers are bare

Don't know how you did it it must've been planned

You even took your favourite chair

So goodbye my lady goodbye

You won't find no tear in my eye

So goodbye my lady goodbye

Going out tonight to get high

Found myself at Charlies scene

Drinking all fashions

sticky painted movie queen

Winked her eye at me

That's how it happened

Diamond shoes satin dress

flashin' flashin' flashin' flashin'

Woke up in the morning heard my mockingbird sing

And it was singin' for me

The lady I met last night's here by my side

She's good company

Well hello sweet lady hello

Good morning with a smile

Well hello sweet lady hello

This lady's gonna make it alright

This lady's gonna make it alright

This lady's gonna make it alright

Lady lady

This lady's gonna make it alright x4
