Woke Up This Morning (official Theme Tune Of 'the Sopranos') Lyrics - Alabama 3

And after three days of drinking with Larry Love 

I just get an inkling to go on home 

So I'm walking down Coldharbour Lane 

And head hung low 

Three or four in the mornin' 

The sun's coming up and the birds are out singin' 

I let myself into my pad 

Wend my way up that spiral staircase 

And stretch out nice on the Chesterfield 

Pithecanthropus Erectus already on the CD player 

And I just push that remote button to sublimity 

And listen to the sweet sculptural rhythms of Charles Mingus 

And J.R. Monterose and Jackie McLean duet on those saxophones 

And the sound makes its way out the window 

Minglin' with the traffic noises outside, you know 

And all of a sudden I'm overcome by a feelin' of brief mortality

HOT SONG: 'Motivation​' Song by Normani​ - LYRICS 

Cause I'm gettin' on in the world 

Comin' up on forty-one years 

Forty-one stony gray steps towards the grave 

You know the box awaits its grisly load 

Now I'm gonna be food for worms 

And just like Charles Mingus wrote that beautiful piece of music 'Epitaph' for Eric Dolphy 

I say, so long Eric 

So long John Coltrane and Charles Mingus 

So long Duke Ellington and Lester Young 

So long Billie Holliday and Ella Fitzgerald 

So long Jimmy Reed 

So long Muddy Waters 

And so long Howlin' Wolf

(Woke up this mornin') 

Woke up this mornin' 

Got yourself a gun 

Your mama always said you'd be the Chosen One 

She said, "You're one in a million 

You got to burn to shine" 

But you were born under a bad sign 

With a blue moon in your eyes 

And you woke up this mornin' 

All that love had gone 

Your Papa never told you about right and wrong 

Hey but you're, but you're looking good, baby 

I believe that you're a-feelin' fine 

Shame about it 

Born under a bad sign with a blue moon in your eyes 

So sing it now 

(Woke up this mornin') 

Oh, yeah 

Oh, yeah 

Woke up this mornin' 

Oh, yeah 

Oh, yeah 

(Woke up this mornin') 

Oh, yeah 

Oh, yeah 

Woke up this mornin' 

Oh, yeah 

Oh, yeah 

I see ya, ya woke up this mornin' 

The world turned upside down 

Lord above, things ain't been the same 

Since the blues walked into town 

Hey but you're, but you're, one in a million 

Cause you got that shotgun shine 

Shame about it 

Born under a bad sign with a blue moon in your eyes 

So sing it now 

(Woke up this mornin') 

You got a blue moon 

(Got a blue moon in your eyes) 

So sad 

Goddamn, a God damned shame about it 

(Woke up this mornin') 

You got a blue moon 

Got a blue moon in your eyes, yeah 

(Got a blue moon in your eyes) 

Oh, yeah 

Oh, yeah 

Oh, yeah 

Oh, yeah 

Mister D. Wayne Love 

When you woke up this morning everything was gone 

By half past ten your head was going ding-dong 

Ringin' like a bell from your head down to your toes 

Like some voice tryin'a tell ya there's somethin' you should know 

Last night you was flyin' but today you're so low 

Ain't it times like these makes you wonder if you'll ever know 

The meaning of things as they appear to the others 

Wives, husbands, mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers 

Don't you wish you didn't function, don't you wish you didn't think 

Beyond the next pay check and the next little drink 

Well you do so make up your mind to go on 

'Cause when you woke up this mornin' everything you had was gone 

(Woke up this mornin') 

When ya woke up this mornin' 

(Woke up this mornin') 

Ya woke up this mornin' 

(Woke up this mornin') 

You wanna be, you wanna be the Chosen One 

Yeah you know it 'cause 

You just can't help yourself, yeah 

(Woke up this mornin') 

When ya, woke up this mornin' 

(Woke up this mornin') 

Woke up this mornin' 

(Woke up this mornin') 

Got yourself a gun 

Got yourself a gun 

Got yourself a gun
