Etta Mooney — Lonesome Monday Morning Blues lyrics

Lyrics

Seeing my daddy Saturday night
Sunday caught him right in sight
All day long for me the sun was shining bright
But when Monday came around
My heart’s scrambling out and down
'Cause Monday, loving daddy can’t be found
Now I am crying those Monday morning blues
No use in trying, that feeling I can’t lose
Oh, won’t somebody come and tell me what to do
When daddy’s not around me, I am sad and blue
I weep just like a weeping willow tree
I weep enough tears to fill the deep blue sea
Lonesome, why, that’s my middle name
All by my own-some, I don’t look the same
'Cause daddy’s love is sweeter than the sugar cane
He’s got a style of loving that’s all his own
He loves me all day Sunday then he leaves me alone
With the Monday morning blues
Now I am crying the Monday morning blues
No use in trying, that feeling I can’t lose
Oh, won’t somebody come and tell me what to do
When daddy’s not around me, I am sad and blue
I weep just like a weeping willow tree
I weep enough tears to fill the deep blue sea
Lonesome, that’s my middle name
All by my own-some, I don’t look the same
'Cause daddy’s love is sweeter than the sugar cane
He’s got a style of loving that’s all his own
He loves me all day Sunday then he leaves me alone
With the Monday morning blues
