The Morning After Blues
(Tommy Makem)
I woke up this morning and I had an awful pain in my head
And knew from the way I felt, I should have stayed in bed
The cat walked across the room, each step was like the rattle of doom
Last might was fun, but in the morning sun, I wish I was a mummy in a tomb
Last night I told a pretty girl that she should be in Hollywood
When I saw her just this morning, well she didn't look quite so good
You may not believe this news, but I'm gonna give up the booze
When I get a little drink to chase the morning after blues
When I get a little drink to chase the morning after blues

I've got two shoes on, one is black and the other is brown
And I wish that the walls of this room would settle down
When all is said and done, a fella has to pay for his fun
But I wish I could find the man who said two heads are better than one
It's a drum beating inside my head that's the cause of this pain
If I ever get better, well I'll never get drunk again
You may not believe this news, but I'm gonna give up the booze
When I get a little drink to chase the morning after blues
When I get a little drink to chase the morning after blues
