You woke up this morning 
Got yourself a gun, 
Your mama always said you'd be 
The Chosen One. 

She said: You're one in a million 
You've got to burn to shine, 
But you were born under a bad sign, 
With a blue moon in your eyes. 

When you woke up this morning 
All that love had gone, 
Your Papa never told you 
About right and wrong. 

But you're, but you're looking good, baby, 
I believe that you're feeling fine, (shame about it), 
Born under a bad sign 
With a blue moon in your eyes. 

Woke up this morning 
Got a blue moon in your eyes 
Woke up this morning 
Got a blue moon in your eyes 
Woke up this morning 

You woke up this morning 
The world turned upside down, 
Lord above, thing's ain't been the same 
Since the Blues walked in our town. 

Baby, but you're, but you're one in a million 
You've got that shotgun shine; shame about it, 
Born under a bad sign, 
With a blue moon in your eyes. 

Woke up this morning 
Woke up this morning 
Got a blue moon in your eyes 
Woke up this morning...
