BETWEEN MIDNIGHT AND DAY (Son House) You know, the minutes, they seem like hours. Sometime the hours, they seem like days. I say, the minutes, they seem like hours. Sometime the hours, they seem like days. You know it look like my baby, oughta stop her low-down ways. I wish sometimes I had a whole heaven of my own. Oh, sometime I wish I had me a heaven of my own. I say, I'd give all my women, I say, a long, long happy home. You know, it's a shame to love someone don't love you. Oh, ain't it a shame, oh, to love someone don't love you. Don't look like it'll never be satisfaction, I don't care what in the world you do. I'm goin' away. I ain't never comin' back no more. I say, I'm goin' away, little girl. I'm never comin' back no more. I say, when I leave this time, I say, I'm gonna hang crepe upon your door. I woke up this mornin', just between midnight and day. Oh, got up this mornin', just between midnight and day. You know, I was still huggin' the pillow, oh, where she used to lay. You know, I cried last night, I say, an' I cried the night before. Oh, I cried last night, yeah. I spent all that night before. I think I'll change my way of livin', oh, so I won't have to cry no more. You know, it's a shame, you know, it's a low-down dirty shame. Lord, it's a shame. Ain't that a low-down dirty shame? I'm so sorry today, baby, oh, that I ever knowed your little ol' name. Recorded by Son House on "Delta Blues and Spirituals," 1995. @blues filename[ BETWNTDY XX |
