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
