Sad Day
Someone woke me up this mornin' and I lit a cigarette
Found myself and then I stopped yawnin', started getting myself dressed
Then I felt that I had a dream, I remembered the things that I'd seen
I could still hear the things you said with that bad dream in my head
It was a sad day, bad day
Sad day, bad day
So I called you on the phone and your friend said, "She's not home"
So I told her where I'd be at and that you should call me back
Then I looked at the morning mail, I was not even expecting a bill
Your letter a-started 'Dear', and it left me with these tears
It was a sad day, bad day
Sad day, bad day
Think of the times that we had rows, but we patched them up somehow
Think of the times when I tried to go, but you screamed and told me no
There is only one thing in this world that I can't understand, that's a girl
I keep a-readin' the things you said, like a bad dream in my head
It was a sad day, bad day
Sad day, bad day
Oh, it's a sad, sad, old day
A sad, old day, brother sad, old day
Sad, old day, brother bad, old day
Sad old day, a bad old day
If there is one awful thing in this world that I can't understand, that's a girl
It was a sad, sad old day
Sad old day, it was a bad, old day
