Midnight Blues

Midnight Blues - Bessie Smith

Written by：Thompson/Williams

Daddy daddy

Please come back to me

Daddy daddy

Please come back to me

Your mama's lonesome as she can be

You left me at midnight

Clocks were striking twelve

Left me at midnight

Clocks were striking twelve

To face this cruel

World all by myself

Woke up at midnight

Sad and blue

Missed my daddy from my side

Left alone

To bemoan my fate

That's why I'm sighing crying

I just can't refuse

I feel so troubled

Heartbroken too

Woe and misery I can't hide

At twelve o'clock

I unlock my hate

I've got the meanest kind

Of lonesome midnight blues
