You know, I don't even like bloody marys, unless Willie is singing about them. The song "Bloody Mary Morning" on the 1974 album Phases and Stages is one of my favorite Willie songs of all time. In the middle of the song during the guitar and fiddle solos on a live version....Willie busts into Bob Wills "Take Me back To Tulsa".....it's awesome. So when your having a bad day and need a bloody mary.....either make you one or put some Willie on.

Here are the fine lyrics:

Well it's a bloody mary morning

Baby left me without warning sometime in the night

And I'm flyin' down to Houston with forgetting her the nature of my flight

As we taxi toward the runway the smog and haze reminding me of how I feel

Just a country boy who's learning that the pitfalls of the city are extremely real

All the night life and the parties temptation and deceit the order of the day

Well it's a bloody mary morning cause I'm leaving baby somewhere in LA

Well it's a bloody mary morning...

[ guitar - steel - piano ]

Well our golden jet is airborn flight fifty cuts a path across the morning sky

And a voice comes on the speaker reassuring us flight fifty is the way to fly

Now a hostess takes our order coffee tea or something stronger to start off the day

And it's a bloody mary morning cause I'm leaving baby somewhere in LA

Well it's a bloody mary morning...

Well I'm flyin' down to Houston with forgetting her the nature of my flight
