Leroy Carr - Midnight Hour Blues

In the wee midnight hours : long before the break of day
When the blues creep up on you : and carry your mind away

While I lay in my bed : and cannot go to sleep
While my heart's in trouble : and my mind is thinking deep

My mind was running : back to days of long ago
And the one I love : I don't see her anymore

Blues why do you worry me : why do you stay so long
You come to me yesterday : been with me all night long

I've been so worried : I didn't know what to do
So I guess that's why : I've had these midnight hour blues
