Question by Dick J: What is the song “When I Woke Up This Morning” about?
I am talking about the 60s folk song by the “We Five”. Here are the lyrics: http://www.songlyrics.com/song-lyrics/We_Five/Miscellaneous/You_Were_On_My_Mind/134547.html

I think it’s about about drug addiction (“went down to the corner just to ease my pain”), but I’m not sure.
