Midnight Blues

Blues, blues stop botherin' me

Blues, blues stop botherin' me

Midnight blues, why can't you let me be?

Well, why can't I lose these midnight blues?

These midnight blues keep botherin' me

I want to be happy, I want to be free

Ooh-wee, blues stop botherin' me

Yes, you got me where you want me

So why can't you let me be?

I guess I can stand most anything

But that whistle on that midnight train

That lonesome whistle drives me mad

It took the best gal I ever had

Now I'm tryin' to lose, tryin' to lose those midnight blues

You can take away my money, cut off my right hand

But the blues I get at midnight is more than I can stand

Well, blues stop botherin' me

Yes, you got me where you want me

So why can't you let me be?

I went to a party the other night

I thought that everything would be all right

But 'long about midnight, that man came

I heard my baby call my name

She said, "You'll never lose, no, never lose those midnight blues"

Blues, blues stop botherin' me

Go away, blues, stop botherin' me

Blues, well, blues stop botherin' me

Midnight blues, why can't you let me be? Well
