Not One Bad Thought Lyrics - Tony Joe White

It was pretty this morning 

Put some flowers in the ground 

Sun was shining this morning 

Planted flowers all around 

Got my business out of the way 

And all I want to do is not one bad thought 

One bad thought 

Oh, yeah 

I got a mockingbird 

It sings the song out on the breathe 

Sometime they sit up on my chimney 

Then they take it up to the trees 

Lord, he must have been hearing my old guitar 

I believe he does it better than me 

Don't have not one bad thought 

Not one bad thought, no 

My mama was a Cherokee 

Spread her little laugh on a river fall 

She had seven kids and let us know 

There was plenty of room in her arms 

She would start the day with a smile on her face 

And not one bad thought, not one bad thought 

Not one bad thought, not one bad thought 

Not one bad thought 

Not one bad thought 

Just wondering 

Not one bad thought 

Not one bad thought
