"Bloody Mary Morning" - Willie Nelson


You know, I don't even like bloody marys, unless Willie is singing about them. The song "Bloody Mary Morning" on the 1974 album Phases and Stages is one of my favorite Willie songs of all time. In the middle of the song during the guitar and fiddle solos on a live version....Willie busts into Bob Wills "Take Me back To Tulsa".....it's awesome. So when your having a bad day and need a bloody mary.....either make you one or put some Willie on.

Here are the fine lyrics:

Well it's a bloody mary morning
Baby left me without warning sometime in the night
And I'm flyin' down to Houston with forgetting her the nature of my flight
As we taxi toward the runway the smog and haze reminding me of how I feel
Just a country boy who's learning that the pitfalls of the city are extremely real
All the night life and the parties temptation and deceit the order of the day
Well it's a bloody mary morning cause I'm leaving baby somewhere in LA
Well it's a bloody mary morning...
[ guitar - steel - piano ]
Well our golden jet is airborn flight fifty cuts a path across the morning sky
And a voice comes on the speaker reassuring us flight fifty is the way to fly
Now a hostess takes our order coffee tea or something stronger to start off the day
And it's a bloody mary morning cause I'm leaving baby somewhere in LA
Well it's a bloody mary morning...
Well I'm flyin' down to Houston with forgetting her the nature of my flight
