Nobody knows the way I feel this mornin' this mornin',
Nobody knows the way I feel this mornin' this mornin';
If I only had my way,
The graveyard would be the place my man would lay!
Nobody knows way I feel this mornin'!

I feel like I could scream and cry this mornin', this mornin',
I feel like I could scream and cry this mornin', this mornin';
I feel like I could scream and cry,
I'm too stout hearted for I'd rather die!
Nobody knows way I feel this mornin'!

I even hate to hear your name this mornin', this mornin,
I even hate to hear your name this mornin', this mornin;
I even hate to hear your name,
I could kill you, take a brown eyed express train!
Nobody knows way I feel this mornin'!
