Midnight Blues
Well, the clock is strikin' 12
Baby, somebody's gotta go
I said the clock is strikin' 12
Baby, somebody's gotta go
Gee, but I know I'm gonna miss you, honey
That's one thing I know
When it's 12 o'clock in Memphis
It's one o'clock in San Antone
12 o'clock in Memphis, baby
One o'clock in San Antone
When it's midnight in California
Oh, I'll be so all alone
If midnight is an awful hour
Baby, why does it come so soon?
Midnight is an awful hour
Baby, why does it come so soon?
It never brings me happiness
Always leave me filled with gloom
Don't ever gamble, buddy
Unless you're sure that you can't lose
Hey, don't ever gamble, buddy
Unless you're sure that you can't lose
You better take my advice
Unless you want those midnight blues
Baby, somebody's gotta go
I said the clock is strikin' 12
Baby, somebody's gotta go
Gee, but I know I'm gonna miss you, honey
That's one thing I know
When it's 12 o'clock in Memphis
It's one o'clock in San Antone
12 o'clock in Memphis, baby
One o'clock in San Antone
When it's midnight in California
Oh, I'll be so all alone
If midnight is an awful hour
Baby, why does it come so soon?
Midnight is an awful hour
Baby, why does it come so soon?
It never brings me happiness
Always leave me filled with gloom
Don't ever gamble, buddy
Unless you're sure that you can't lose
Hey, don't ever gamble, buddy
Unless you're sure that you can't lose
You better take my advice
Unless you want those midnight blues
