Stubbed Toe Blues

[Verse] Day started fine, with the mornin' dew, Sunrise painted skies of baby blue, But then I stubbed my toe, Lord, what a hue, Red as a barn door, now it's bruised black and blue. [Verse 2] Momma told me always watch my stride, But I was dreamin', thinkin' 'bout a ride, The coffee was brewin', toast on the side, Hit that durn table, oh how I cried. [Chorus] Stubbed toe blues, in this old farmhouse, The pain ain't goin', got me mad as a louse, Mornin' mishap, wish it was a mouse, Gotta nurse this wound, with a bottle of souse. [Verse 3] Papa laughed when he saw me limp, "It's just a toe, son, don't be a wimp." But every step I take, I'm walkin' gimp, Wish I'd had shoes on, feelin' like a shrimp. [Verse 4] Boys down at the town's ol' general store, Heard my tale and they laughed some more, "Got a remedy," said wise old Mr. Moore, "Whiskey on the toe and you'll feel no sore." [Bridge] Got my lesson, gotta heed that advice, Toes and tables ain't meant to make nice, Next time I'm wanderin', won't be thinkin' twice, Watch where I'm steppin', don't pay the price.
