When I get up in the morning,
   I believe I dust my blues.
   When I get up in the morning,
   I believe I dust my blues.
   My baby said she's leaving,
   So I ain't got no time to lose.
  
   Gonna write a letter,
   Gonna send a telegram.
   Gonna write a letter,
   Gonna send her a telegram.
   Gonna write and tell my baby,
   Just how fool I am.
  
   When I get up in the morning,
   I believe I dust my blues.
   When I get up in the morning,
   I believe I see I dust my blues.
   My baby said she's leaving,
   I ain't got no time to lose.
