Jimmy Reed – When I Woke Up This Morning lyrics

When I woke up this mornin', I was in my bed alone
I woke up this mornin', I, I, was in my bed alone
I thought I was dreamin' but the woman I had was gone

I spent ten years in a steel mill, every cent would come home with pay
I spent ten years in the steel mill, every cent it come home with my pay
I was workin' on seven eleven an' that's when she go out an' play

I don't care about the money she spend, neither, the clothes she put on his back
I don't care about the money she would spend, neither, the clothes you put on his back
Yeah, but things from seven eleven, he was laid up in my shack
