4 O'Clock Blues

4 O'Clock Blues - Skip James

I woke up this mornin'

Clock was strikin' four

I woke up this mornin'

My clock was strikin' four

I thought about my baby

She's knockin' on my door

Hey tell me lover

What more can daddy do

You tell me baby

What more can daddy do

An' I tried so hard

To get along with you

I never loved 'an (hon' )

Hope I never will

I ain't ever loved darlin'

Hope I never will

I ain't never loved an' ( )

I hope I never will

And there's a brown skinned gal she's

Rollin' 'cross my mind

And there's a brown skinned gal she's

Rollin' 'cross my mind

And she keeps me worried

Bothered all the time

I'm gonna sing this verse and I

Ain't gonna sing no more

Might sing this verse and I

Ain't gonna sing no more

(I ain't ) at home

My clock was strikin' 4

Goodbye my darling

Honey and fare you well

Goodbye my darling

Honey and fare you well

Goodbye my babe

Honey and fare you well
