I woke up in the morning,
heard a mockingbird sing
Was he laughing at me?
I went to the beast and watched the street by my eyes
So I could see
A note on the bed,
close where my lover should be She slipped away in the night
The writing was shaky and with tears on the sheet I'm sorry,
we had a fight
So farewell,
sweet lover,
farewell Sorry we never said goodbye
So farewell,
sweet lover,
farewell You laughed with a tear in your eye
Must have been brewing for a very long
time In a wardrobe I had as a bear
Don't know how you did it,
it must have been planned You even took your favorite chair
Said goodbye,
my lady,
goodbye You won't find no tear in my eye
Said goodbye,
my lady,
goodbye Going out tonight to get high
Found myself at Charleston Drinking old-fashioned
Snaky banjo, movie queen, Winked her eye at me
That's how it happens Diamond shoes,
satin dress
Said we bond like a splashin',
splashin',
splashin',
splashin'
Woke up in the morning,
heard my mockingbird sing And it was singing 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 all right
This lady's gonna make it all right
This lady's gonna make it all right
This lady's gonna make it all right
