Ida Cox — Misery Blues

[Verse 1] Early this morning when everything was still Early this morning when everything was still My daddy said he was leavin', though it's against my will [Verse 2] He said "I'm leavin', mama, and your cryin' won't make me stay" He said "I'm leavin', mama, and your cryin' won't make me stay The more you cry, the further I'm goin' away" [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] A man is like a car that you have to overhaul A man is like a car that you have to overhaul He's in three of four weeks and you can't get along at all [Verse 4] I gave him everything from a diamond on down I gave him everything from a diamond on down The next thing I give him will be six feet of ground
