Midnight Blue

One, two, one, two, three, uh

Ain't no sorrow for that woman

Ain't no pity for this fool

She wrote her name upon my window last night

Signed it "Gone with love, Midnight Blue"

There's a story goin' 'round here

'Bout a woman dressed in black

Spendin' money and drinkin' whiskey

Drivin' 'round in my big black Cadillac

There's a shanty by the river

Say she went there to be a friend

Found his body late this mornin'

She signed it "Gone with love, Midnight Blue"

There's a jailhouse in this county

With its windows oh so high

They're gonna hang me come Monday morning

By my soul, Midnight Blue, 'cross the sky

Lord, have mercy

If I ever get to Heaven

I'll look St. Peter in the eye

Say, "Don't you ever allow that woman

Oh, to come up here now

She's Satan's daughter in shades of Midnight Blue"

Midnight Blue

Midnight Blue

Midnight Blue
