Mightnight Hour Blues - Leroy Carr

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
