Midnight Blue - Seals & Crofts

Ain’t no sorrow for that woman.

Ain’t no pity for this fool

She wrote her name upon my window, 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 down by the river.

They say she went there to meet a friend

They found his body beneath the willows.

She signed it «Gone, with love,

Midnight Blue.»

There’s a jailhouse down in this county, with its windows oh so high

They’re gonna hang me come Monday morning, write my soul, Midnight Blue,

across the sky

Now if I ever get to heaven, I’ll look St. Peter in the eye

And say don’t you ever let that woman ever appear

She’s Satan’s daughter, in shades of midnight blue
