Lonnie Johnson Lyrics
"Seven Long Days (1951)"

It was on last Sunday mornin', when you first told me you were through.
It was on last Sunday mornin', when you first told me you were through.
It took me seven long, long days, to lose my blues for you.

It was a blue, blue, blue Monday, and I cried, cried all day long.
It was a blue, blue Monday, and I cried, cried all day long.
I couldn't sleep for thinkin' 'bout you baby, and it's since the second night that you were gone.

Now, I woke up Tuesday mornin', I didn't go to work, I didn't comb my hair, put on a rough dried shirt.
I had the blues for you baby, I worked until Friday night.
It was early Saturday mornin', first day I seen the light.

Now it's Sunday mornin' baby, and I'm lovin' somebody new.
Yes, now it's Sunday mornin' baby, and I'm lovin' somebody new.
It took me seven long days, to lose my blues for you.
