I woke up this mornin'
Just as blue as I could be
I woke up this mornin'
Just as blue as I could be

I looked all around my bedroom

I saw my baby comin'
She was comin' with a smile
She said, "I'm comin' home to you, baby
Comin' home to my baby child"

Oh, oh, you know just how I feel
I'll forever be with you, baby
So you won't have to keep on strolling Beale
