此曲美歌手兼曲作者及演Kris Kristofferson所，初由Ray Stevens於1969唱行，其版本在告示牌村及流行榜分得第55及81名的成。1970，大牌村歌手Johnny Cash亦唱此曲，果在村榜得了冠的佳。2024，石此曲排名在200最佳村歌曲的第96名。
Kris Kristofferson位老兄算是多才多，英牛津大，回後去兵，升至上尉，也了直，退伍後本可受聘至校教，跑去替石油公司直，送工往返油平台。而由於在太喜音，之後去哥比唱片公司清工，想可能有出的。但Johnny Cash的老婆June Carter送去的歌曲demo卡音全。Kristofferson在末兼替田西的民兵直，了引起Johnny Cash的注意，公器私用，直接直降落在Cash家庭院的草地上，此果然有效，也自此展了和Cash一串的接。
June Carter & Johnny Cash

歌曲述的是一位在社低工作的身，宿醉後在星期天的早晨醒，由於不上教堂也只能四逛，感自己失意孤的人生。其Johnny Cash最初的版本在始唱之前有一段白，了大的30年代之後，多人的生活和心世界都和歌曲中的身差不多，他的父也是其中之一，也常了找工作而到流浪，些人然也是了想他心中的生活。依Kristofferson的法，Cash上目演唱此曲前，被高管要歌中「I'm Wishin'，Lord，that I was Stoned」，改「that I was Home」，但遭到Cash拒。
1985，Johnny Cash、Waylon Jennings、Willie Nelson及Kris Kristofferson成了村超The Highwayman，也使得Kristofferson有和Cash同台演唱此首《Sunday Morning Coming Down》。

【中文歌Google翻】
好吧，我星期日早上醒
Well, I woke up Sunday mornin'
法保持我的不痛
With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt
我早餐喝的啤酒也不
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad
所以我又吃了一份甜
So I had one more for dessert
然後我在衣摸索衣服
Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes
找到了我最乾的衫
And found my cleanest dirty shirt
然後我洗了，梳了
Then I washed my face and combed my hair
跌跌撞撞地走下梯迎接一天
And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day
前一天晚上我已抽心思
I'd smoked my mind the night before
著我一直在的香和歌曲
With cigarettes and songs I'd been pickin'
但我燃了第一，看著一小孩
But I lit my first and watched a small kid
玩著他踢的罐子
Playin' with a can that he was kickin'
然後我就走到街面
Then I walked across the street
到了周日有人炸的味道
And caught the Sunday smell of someone's fryin' chicken
主啊，它我回到了我失去的西
And Lord, it took me back to somethin' that I'd lost
一路上，在某地方，以某方式
Somewhere, somehow along the way
在周日早上的人行道上
On a Sunday mornin' sidewalk
主啊，我希望我被石砸死
I'm wishin', Lord, that I was stoned
因日有事
'Cause there's somethin' in a Sunday
身感到孤
That makes a body feel alone
有什比死亡更短的了
And there's nothin' short a' dyin'
那是音一半的孤
That's half as lonesome as the sound
沉睡的城市人行道
Of the sleepin' city sidewalk
日早上即
And Sunday mornin' comin' down
在公我看了爸爸
In the park I saw a daddy
著一笑著的小女孩，他正在
With a laughin' little girl that he was swingin'
我在一所主日旁停了下
And I stopped beside a Sunday school
著他唱的歌
And listened to the songs they were singin'
然後我就沿著街道走去
Then I headed down the street
某地方起了孤的
And somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringin'
它在谷中
And it echoed through the canyons
就像昨天消失的想
Like the disappearin' dreams of yesterday
On a Sunday mornin' sidewalk
I'm wishin', Lord, that I was stoned
'Cause there's somethin' in a Sunday
That makes a body feel alone
And there's nothin' short a' dyin'
That's half as lonesome as the sound
Of the sleepin' city sidewalk
And Sunday mornin' comin' down
