Early one morning, the blues came fallin' down Early one morning, the blues came fallin' down I was all locked up in jail, and was prisoner bound Baby you will never, see my smilin' face again (and that's for sure) Baby you will never, see my smilin' face again But you can always remember, your daddy have been your friend Well all right! Sometimes I wonder, why don't you write to me Sometimes I wonder, why don't you write to me If I been a bad fellow, I didn't intend to be And that's for sure!

Sweet Black Angel (Robert McCullom) I've got a sweet black angel, I likes the way she spread her wing I've got a sweet black angel, I likes the way she spread her wing When she spread her wings over me, I gets joy and ev'rything If my black angel should quit me, I believe that I would die If my black angel should quit me, I believe that I would die If you don't love me black angel, please tell me the reason why Well all right man... (guitar solo) Ask my black angel for a nickel, and she give me a ten dollar bill Ask my black angel for a nickel, and she give me a ten dollar bill Told I want a small drink of liquor, and she bought me a whiskey still
