You Were on My Mind
words and music by Sylvia Fricker

Peaked at number 3 on 77WABC,
New York weekly surveys in 1966

Peaked at number 2 on Billboard

When I woke up this morning
You were on my mi-i-i-i-ind
And you were on my mind
I got troubles, whoa-oh
I got worries, whoa-oh
I got wounds to bind

So I went to the corner
Just to ease my pa-a-a-a-ins
Yeah, just to ease my pains
I got troubles, whoa-oh
I got worries, whoa-oh
I came home again

When I woke up this morning
You were on my mi-i-i-i-ind and
You were on my mind
I got troubles, whoa-oh
I got worries, whoa-oh
I got wounds to bind.

And I got a feelin'
Down in my sho-oo-oo-oo-oes, yeah,
Way down in my sho-oo-oes
Yeah, I got to ramble, whoa-oh
I got to move on, whoa-oh
I got to walk away my blues

When I woke up this morning
You were on my mi-i-i-i-ind
You were on my mind
I got troubles, whoa-oh
I got worries, whoa-oh
I got wounds to bind....
