Cow Hooking Blues Mississippi John Hurt

Woke up this morning, just about the break of day
Woke up this morning...
Woke up this morning, just 'bout the break of day

I hugged my pillow, mama, 'baby used to lay
I hugged my pillow...
I hugged my pillow where my baby used to lay

She keeps me worried...
She keeps me worried...
...Me worried, and bothered all the time

She don't come back tonight, I b'lieve I'll lose my mind
Don't come back, I...
Don't come back, I bl'lieve I'll lose my mind

Baby, baby
Oh, please, baby, try me one more time

'S my babe, man, I wished you'd let her alone
That's my baby...
That's my babe and I wished you'd let her alone

'Been for you, my babe would've stayed at home
Hadn't've been for you, man...
Hadn't've been for you, my babe would've stayed at home
