Ramblin' Jack Elliott - Good Morning Blues [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Now this is the blues
There was a white man had the blues
Thought it was nothing to worry about
Now you lay down at night
You roll from one side of the bed
To the other all night long

Ya can't sleep, what's the matter; the blues has gotcha
Ya get up you sit on the side of the bed in the mornin'
May have a sister a mother a brother n a father around
But you don't want no talk out of em
What's the matter; the blues has gotcha
When you go in put your feet under the table look down
At ya plate got everything you wanna eat
But ya shake ya head you get up you say "Lord I can't
Eat I can't sleep what's the matter"
The blues gotcha
Why not talk to ya

Tell what you gotta tell it

Well, good morning blues, blues how do you do
Well, good morning blues, blues how do you do
I'm doing all right well, good morning how are you

I couldn't sleep last night
I was turning from side to side
Oh Lord, I was turning from side to side
I wasn't sad, I was just dissatisfied

I couldn't sleep last night
You know the blues walking 'round my bed
Oh Lord, the blues walking 'round my bed
I went to eat my breakfast, the blues was in my bread

Well good morning blues, blues how do you do
Well, good morning blues, blues how do you do
I'm doing all right, well, good morning how are you
