The Big Question - Original Mono - Percy Mayfield

I’ve got some questions to ask you

On the subject called the Blues

I’ve got some questions to ask you

On the subject called the Blues

And if you’re acquainted with that subject

Well, your answer may mean good news

Have you ever rose at midnight

And walked the floor 'til the break of day?

Have you ever rose at midnight

And walked the floor 'til the break of day?

And tried your best to figure, why

Your baby went away?

Have you ever laid and wondered

And cried the whole night through?

Have you ever laid and wondered

And cried the whole night through?

Have you ever loved a woman

That turned her back on you?

Have you ever sat down to dinner

And had to eat alone?

And think about your baby

And your appetite is gone?

Have you ever lost your loved one

Have you ever felt so sad?

Well, friends, that happened to me

That’s why I’ve got the blues today

Ooh, got the blues today
