Lewis, Jerry Lee - Sunday Morning Coming Down Lyrics
Well, I woke up Sunday morning
With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt.
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad,
So I had one more for dessert.
Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes
Then I washed my face and combed my hair
And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day.
I'd smoked my mind the night before
With cigarettes and songs I'd been picking.
But I lit my first and watched a small kid
Playing with a can that he was kicking.
Then I walked across the street
And caught the Sunday smell of someone frying chicken.
And Lord, it took me back to something that I'd lost
On a Sunday morning sidewalk,
I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned.
'Cause there's something in a Sunday
That makes a body feel alone.
And there's nothing short a' dying
That's half as lonesome as the sound
Of the sleeping city sidewalk
And Sunday morning coming down.
In the park I saw a daddy
With a laughing little girl that he was swinging.
And I stopped beside a Sunday school
And listened to the songs they were singing.
Then I headed down the street,
And somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringing,
And it echoed through the canyon
Like the disappearing dreams of yesterday.
On a Sunday morning sidewalk,
I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned.
'Cause there's something in a Sunday
That makes a body feel alone.
And there's nothing short a' dying
That's half as lonesome as the sound
Of the sleeping city sidewalk
And Sunday morning coming down.

Lewis, Jerry Lee Sunday Morning Coming Down Comments
Any time I have a dirty shirt in the laundry basket, I think about the line in this song.
his voice is gone. Terrible version
DAMN ....................... :D
The gravel of Mr Lee Lewis's voice & the hopelessness of KK's lyrics melt me every time!!!!!!!!!!
Brilliant version
Great great version
Kick ass job Killer
Awesome, but kk has the best version
Wonderful version
Listen to Cal Ford and the 'rev' John white version here on YouTube.
Over sixty and been through a lot a shit in my life,but you'll seldom catch me cryin.And then..... this one.....Jerry's rendition of this song got me sobbing like a baby.
Same- ! every single Time--- !
Johnny's version is the best. Kris & Trisha Yearwood do an amazing performance too.
Fabulous x
First time I heard this guy singing,his accent is strange and lovely.
Angry Bird Louisiana, Deep South on the Mississippi, lovely, indeed❤️THE KILLER #1
@Brenda Spray
Would love to visit that place😘also fascinated by the dancing,they appear very warm and welcoming people.
Just hearing him? Wow!! Anyway he's from Faraday , Louisiana, that's the accent. His younger voice is much smoother than on this song, worth listening to!
Happy Bird , I read your comment and have to tell you I agree. The best food, The best dancing, The most friendliest people. I guess you can tell this is my home state. Seriously I grew up in what’s known as the Cajun country and you don’t meet a stranger. You need to come visit. Actually I realize there are many places that you’ll find the same hospitality.
Beautiful tone.🐭🎶🎵🎷🎺🎸🎸🎸
The killer for ever
Leaves the Johnny Cash version in the dust. Only 1/150th the likes, but theres plenty of incredible music with only a handful of listens out there in youtube.
Thats it. Excellent version from the heart. Thanks.
Best version ever
Kris Kristoferson wrote it and sung it Hank Snows version is okay too
As much as Jerry Lee left Big footprints in Rock n Roll , he Was a Killer . no pun . Country Singer , as u can hear here . And made many Great country albums .
Chickennnnnnnnnn...
Wow. That’s knocked me sideways.
The Killer kills it...
The song was originally sung by Kris Kristoferson . He also wrote it
Yep, & as much as i love his original & Mr Cash's GREAT cover, JLL SLAYS it here!!!!
AS USUAL, HE GIVES A PERFECT RENDITION. THANK YOU FOR POSTING.
Another winner by JLL!!!!
This version and interpretation of this classic make me love you Jerry Lee...you are the best by far...
Atti Malambri 001 ❤️❤️❤️THE KILLER even more, if that’s possible!!! #1
@Brenda Spray it is, I feel the same way every time I listen to this!
He makes me feel I'd give anything not to drink again.
One day at a time Ralph
@Mike Parins Thanks Mike! Three-and-a-quarter years! The best ones!
@Ralph Lane keep it up
Well done Jerry, this is beautiful,
Get'er done killer !
Errug Goed Hoor !!
Nog 1 keer zo een reactie en ik stuur mijn advocaten op je af.
sounds like you lived it. what emotion. love it
Who's song was this originally? I've heard it performed by Johnny Cash too.
kris kristofferson
Written by Kris Kristofferson, first recorded in 1969 by Ray Stevens, then part of Kris' first album "Kristofferson" in 1970 and made a No 1 charts hit by Johnny Cash, also in 1970. Kris Kristofferson once said "This song was the reason why I could stop working for a living."
Krfis Kristofferson wrote and first recorded it.
mrznjaci. Kris Kristofferson wrote and sang it... covered by many, famously by Johnny Cash.
Fantastic version of this classic.
Thank's
great great version.!!!!!
Heard many good versions - including all of Cash's. Not sure, but this may be the best. In any case, 'Mean Old Man' is a better album than 'Last Man Standing'.
It is the best...and I do like Johnny Cash too.
I loved JCs version, but Jerry Lee has killed it. Brilliant rendition from a brilliant talent.
Kevin Eydmann THE KILLER nailed it, as usual... ❤️ #1
wow best version I ever heard of that song ! want the album
as good as any cover of this song i've heard, but i'm still lookin for that ONE that nails the words and emotion
This is the ONE that your looking for
It would be Jerry Lee when his voice is not rough like it is here. Usually he is so smooth and full of emotion.
"Don't leave me in the twilight, 'cause twilight is the loneliest time of day ....."
Great heart-felt version, Killer
