I got up early this morning

So I could walk the floor

I′ve got to hit the streetsCause there's a wolf outside my door

The bill collector′s calling

And my kids need better shoes

Gonna go to church on sunday

Cause I got nothing left to loose

And it's a good day

It's a real good day for the blues

It′s raining cats and dogs outside

And I′m looking for a job

The man I worked for laid me off

Lord and I worked for him real hard

But I won't let my kids go hungry

No matter what I have to do

And it′s a good day,

It's a real good day for the blues

Things are getting better

The check is in the mail

I just threw my last dye in the wishing well

And it′s a good day,

A real good day for the blues

I got a up early this morning

So I could walk the floor

I've got to hit the streets

Cause there is a wolf outside my door

Gonna go to church on sunday

Lord I got nothing to loose

And it′s a good day

It's a real good day for the blues
