Yesterday Morning Lyrics & Chords By Cornmeal

Yesterday Morning words and music by Dave Burlingame

I fell in love yesterday morning
I saw her face, I met her and I asked her out that night
what a shock I felt , somewhere below the belt
she must have misconstrued it when I said let's have a bite

Saw her again yesterday morning
A new companion that I've asked to come and share my life
Oh well, it's risky I hear tell
when you gamble with your heart somebody gets hurt every time

Well in thirteen months and seven days
We had to go our separate ways
It took that long to find out that she lied
So don't try dippin in my well
You can take your bucket straight to hell
And I'm hopeful that you will enjoy the ride

I woke up alone again this morning
I guess I’d gotten used to having her hanging around
Woe is me, I've gone and skinned my knee
On the pieces of my heart that she left scattered on the ground

Now I spend my days all by myself
I put my pride back on the shelf
I stumble around and wander after dark
I lock myself out of my room
I go and hit the old saloon
Where I get my fill and pass out in the park.

Woke up in my clothes again this morning
Barefoot preacher came to me and whispered in my ear
Life is strange, brother can you spare some change
I'm sorry Joe I need the dough to drown my sorrows in a beer.
