Lyrics
You were on my mind this morning, you were on my mind today
We had our good times together, we sure had our special way
I guess those happy days are gone now, just like water through my hand
Wonder if I'll ever see you, ever kiss your lips again
If you hear me and I'm singin' some old lonesome song like this
You'll know I'm not over you, and I am longing for your kiss
Wish that I could linger longer, sit down in some evening shade
But you know I have to ramble, guess that's just the way I'm made
You were on my mind this morning, you were on my mind today
We had our good times together, we sure had our special way
Things were goin' good, and I was flush and I was fancy fine
Threw it all away on women, whiskey, cards, dice, and wine
I will roll, and I will tumble, I will rise and fall again
Ridin' on this rollercoaster, doesn't ever seem to end
You were on my mind this morning, you were on my mind today
We had our good times together, we sure had our special way
I would leave this town this mornin', I would leave this town today
If I thought you'd have me back, I would soon be on my way
The lame would get up, start to walkin', the blind would somehow see
If ever I forgot about you, all the things you meant to me

About This Song
You Were On My Mind This Morning is a classic country-gospel song popularized by The Stanley Brothers in the 1950s. Ralph Stanley's distinctive high lonesome vocals and the song's heartfelt lyrics about remembering a loved one made it a bluegrass standard that's still frequently heard at jam sessions today.
