Nobody knows the way I feel this mornin'
Oh, nobody knows the way I feel this mornin'

Well, if I only had my way
Don't you know the graveyard would be the place
My man would lay
Nobody knows the way I feel this mornin'

I pawned everything that I had this mornin'
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
I pawned everything I could get my hands on this mornin'

I pawned my ring, gold watch and chain
I would have pawned myself
But don't you know I felt kind of ashamed
Nobody knows the way I feel this mornin'

Lord, Lord, I feel I could scream
Scream and cry this mornin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I feel like I could scream, scream and cry this mornin'

I feel like I could scream, I holler and cry
But I'm too stout hearted, I'd rather die
'Cause nobody knows
Nobody knows the way I feel this mornin'

Girls, let me tell you
If your man stays out all night till mornin'
I said if your man stays out
And [bad word] home till mornin'

Don't waste your breath by fussin' at him
Just maul him on the head with your rollin' pin
'Cause nobody knows
Nobody knows how I feel this mornin'

Yeah, yeah, I feel like I could scream
Scream and cry this mornin'
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, I feel like I could scream
Yeah, scream and cry this mornin'

I feel like screamin' and I could cry
But I'm too stout hearted, don't you know I'd rather die
'Cause nobody knows the trouble I've seen
And nobody knows the way I feel this mornin'

I'd rather be a sinker on a fishin' line this mornin'
I know you heard me I said
I 'd rather be a sinker on a fishin' line this mornin'

I'd rather be a sinker on a fishin' line
Than to have my mind [bad word] all the time
'Cause nobody knows
Nobody knows the way I feel this mornin'

I even hate to hear my daddy's name this mornin'
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, I hate to hear
I hate to hear my daddy's name this mornin'

I even hate to hear, to hear your name
I can kill you quicker than an express train
'Cause nobody knows
Nobody knows the way I feel this mornin'

Well, well, well
Nobody knows the way I feel this mornin'
Oh, nobody knows the way I feel this mornin'

Lord, nobody knows the way I feel
I ain't gonna holler but I'm gonna squeal
'Cause nobody knows
Nobody knows the way I feel this mornin'

I'm leavin' here
On a southbound train this mornin'
Oh, I'm leavin' here
On a southbound train this mornin'

I'm leavin' here on a southbound train
Nothing's gonna bring your sweet baby back here again
'Cause nobody knows the way I feel this mornin'
