When those midnight hours journey,
I was in my bed alone.
When those midnight hours journey,
I was in my bed alone.
Well, when i came home this evenin',
My woman had gone.
I lay my head on my pillow,
Gazing at the stars above.
Yes, i lay my head on my pillow,
Gazing at the stars above.
But it's a mis'rable ol' feeling,
When you lose the one you love.
To get the blues at midnight,
Is one thing you can't describe.
To get the blues at midnight,
Is one thing you can't describe.
Well, when you look at your woman's pi'ture,
Tears will fall from your eyes.
Oh, lord, these blues,
Are gettin' me down.
These blues at midnight,
They are really getting me down.
'cause they crawl all over me,
When the sun starts goin' down.
