Lyrics

Woke Up This Morning

Woke up this morning, my dog was dead

Someone disliked him and shot him through the head

Woke up this morning, my cat had died

I know I'll miss her, sat down and cried

Came home this evening, my hog was gone

People here don't like me, I think I'll soon move on

Now somethings happened, that would make a saint frown

I turned my back and my house burned down
