Humpty’s Blues/American Woman (Epilogue) Lyrics

[Verse]
Woke up late this morning
Found out my people gone away from me
(Nobody anywhere I looked)
Woke up late one morning
Found out my people gone away
Spinning around in circles
Oh how I hate to be alone
(It's no good)
Looking all around me
Trying to find out where everybody's gone
(Can't find anybody)
Looking all around me
Trying to find out where the Hell everybody's gone
(Can't find anybody now)
Spinning around in circles
Oh how I hate to be alone
(Can't stand being all alone)
If I could have been a carpenter
Could have run around looking for things to fix
Way back a long time ago if I could have been a carpenter
I could have found a lot of things to fix
(Fix them all up now)
Didn't end up being no carpenter
And that's why they call me
Humpty Mix

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
