Lyrics for Dreamin' Blues

My baby left me this morning People just about four o'clock My baby left me this morning People just about four o'clock She left me dreamin', dreamin' People then I woke up crying Me and my baby don't get along so well We don't do a doggone thing but fuss and fight all Most all the time, she left me to dream People dream most all the time Ever since my baby left me I don't do a doggone thing but dream Yes, my nightmares are killing me now You know I lay down dreamin' People, God knows that I wake up crying Yes, since my baby's been gone People, I just can't eat a bite I'm gonna get up in the morning Going down that lonesome road I don't find my baby People, I won't be back no more
