Dark Night Blues

Got a dark night blues

Yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah

Here we go
I'm gonna tell you my problem

I got the dark night blues, feeling awful bad
I got the dark night blues, mama, I'm feeling awful bad
That's the worst old feeling that a good man ever had
Oh, no

You know, I followed my girlfriend from the depot to the train
Followed my girl from the depot to the train
The blues came down on me just like dark night showers of rain, of rain

I drink so much whiskey, I stagger when I sleep
I drink so much whiskey, I stagger when I sleep
And my brains are dark and cloudy
Ooh, my mind's gone to my feet
Ooh, yeah
Help me, baby
I need some help on these dark night blues

I got the blues so bad, I can feel them in the dark
I got the blues so bad, I can feel them in the dark
That one dark, dreary morning
Oh, baby, you know you broke my heart
Ouch

Got a girl in Atlanta, got one in Macon too
Got a girl in Atlanta, got one in Macon too
They're both pretty cool, you know what I mean
I got one in Scottsboro, and they all give me the old dark night blues
