Oh, yeah, yeah

[Refrain]
Woke up this mornin'
Lookin' there over the dawn of light
Things now for me are not what they used to be
I had many a friend
I had many a friend up until the end
But now everyone's gone and I'll live on
In a family

Go on and ra—raise a family
That's what they tell me
They tell me, they tell me

If I find me a good reason, it would be so, so good, pleasin'

I woke up this mornin'
Lookin' there over the dawn of light
And things now for me are not what they used to be, yeah

Many friends up until the end
Oh, but everyone's gone and I'll live on
In a family
