While I was painting this I had one of my favorite songs in my head, "Morning Blues." 

Here are the lyrics...

Been in business and I've been in love

I used to fly high like a turtle dove

Had the blues many a time

Just a girl on a poor boy's mind

I got the morning blues

Oh so bad

Honey come and kiss me

They're the worst I've ever had

Nickel's worth of grease, Dime's worth of lard

I would buy more but the times are too hard

Ain't no need for me to work so hard

'Cause I can live off the chickens in the neighbors yard

I got the morning blues

Oh so bad

Honey come and kiss me

They're the worst I've ever had

Woke up this morning with a pain in my head

So I crawled right back in bed

Alone in the morning make you feel so bad

lonesome blues make you feel so sad

-Traditional Song, Jim Kweskin Version
