Classic blues with harmonica (cross-harp) and guitar accompaniment

Lyrics

Well, there's the blues in the morning, there's the blues at night (2x)
But the very worse blues come in the broad daylight

The sun was a-shinin' in the middle of the day (2x)
That's when my baby told me she was goin' away.

[bridge]
Sunshine blues gonna mess up your day
Turn blue skies into dirty old gray
Hot coffee in the morning, cold whiskey at night
Drinkin' at noontime, you know it ain't right
Oh...you know it ain't right...

That ol' sun was a-grinnin', laughing in my face (2x)
Them sunshine blues; they're a big disgrace.

I got the sunshine blues, got 'em all day long (2x)
Everything I do just gonna come out wrong...
