Blues Before Sunrise Lyrics

John Lee Hooker Blues Before Sunrise

(Leroy Carr)
I have the blues before sunrise, tears standing in my
eyes
I have the blues before sunrise, tears standing in my
eyes
It was a miserable feeling, now babe, a feeling I do
despise

I have to leave, leave you baby, because you know you
done me wrong
I have to leave you baby, because you know you done me
wrong
I'm gonna pack up and leave you darling and break up my
happy home

I have to leave, leave you baby, I'm gonna leave you all
alone
I'm gonna leave you baby, I'm gonna leave you all alone
I'm gonna pack up and leav you darling, because you know
you done me wrong

Well now goodbye, goodbye baby, I'll see you on some
rainy day
Well now goodbye baby, I'll see you on some rainy day
You can go ahead now little darling, 'cause I want you to
have your way
