Blue Sky Upon The Horizon,

Private Eye Is On My Trail,

And If I Don't Be There By Morning

You Know That I Must Have Spent The Night In Jail.



I've Been Running From Memphis To L. A.

Had An Appointment Set Sometime For Today,

And If I Don't Be There By Morning

You Know That I Must Have Gone The Other Way.



Finding My Way Back To You Girl,

Lonely And Blue And Mistreated Too.

Sometimes I Think Of You Girl,

Is It True That You Think Of Me Too?



I Got A Woman Living In L. A.

I Got A Woman Waiting For My Pay,

And If I Don't Be There By Morning,

Pack My Clothes, Get Down On Your Knees And Pray.



Chorus



I Left My Woman With A Twenty Dollar Bill.

I Left Her Waiting, I Hope She's Waiting For Me Still.

If I Don't Be There By Morning

You Know That I, I Never Will.
