Saturday Morning

While I was painting this I had one of my favorite songs in my head, "Morning Blues." 
Here are the lyrics...

Been in business and I've been in love
I used to fly high like a turtle dove
Had the blues many a time
Just a girl on a poor boy's mind

I got the morning blues
Oh so bad
Honey come and kiss me
They're the worst I've ever had

Nickel's worth of grease, Dime's worth of lard
I would buy more but the times are too hard
Ain't no need for me to work so hard
'Cause I can live off the chickens in the neighbors yard

I got the morning blues
Oh so bad
Honey come and kiss me
They're the worst I've ever had

Woke up this morning with a pain in my head
So I crawled right back in bed
Alone in the morning make you feel so bad
lonesome blues make you feel so sad
-Traditional Song, Jim Kweskin Version
