BETWEEN MIDNIGHT AND DAY
Son House

(Slide guitar intro with harp)
(Walking beat)

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, aughta' stop her low down ways.

I wish sometimes, I had a whole heaven of my own.
Oh sometime I wish, I me a heaven of my own.

I say I'd give all my women, I say a long, long hapy home.

You know it's a shame to love someone don't love you.
Oh ain't it a shame, oh ta 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 Im' goin' away, little girl I'm never comin' back no more.

I say when I leave this time, I say I'm gona hang crate upon your door.


I woke up this mornin', just beetween nidnight and day.
Oh got up this mornin', just between midnight and day.

You know I was still huggin' the pilla, 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 of livin', oh so I won't have ta cry no more.


You know it's a shame, you know it's a low down dirty shame.
Lawd it's a shame, a dat a low down dirty shame.

I'm so sorry today baby, oh that I ever knowd your little ol' name.
