Four in the Mornin’
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Four in the mornin' and the water is pourin' down
Stove don't work and baby has just left town
Lyin' on my back 'cause there just ain't nothin' to drink
Empty bottles on the floor and dirty dishes in the sink
Nothin' to drink, and the sun ain't gonna shine
Left my baby 'cause she just wouldn't stop lyin'
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 2]
Joe with his knees and his legs all bandaged up
Came askin' for some money and all that I had was a buck
Watchin' a cockroach crawlin' 'round an old bean can
He said, "When your baby leaves, ain't it tough to be a man?"
Four in the mornin' and the water is pourin' down
[Instrumental Outro]
