Thread Name: Origins: When You Go Walking After Midnight
Subject: Lyr Add: WHEN YOU GO WALKING AFTER MIDNIGHT
WHEN YOU GO WALKING AFTER MIDNIGHT
As recorded by Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys on "Can't You Hear the Mountains Calling" (2009)

You'll find souls wandering out in darkness
Whose place in life they'll never find
Wandering so aimless and hopelessly
Whose lives are broken like mine

When you go walking after midnight
Over on the wrong side of town
Walk down any street many lost souls you'll meet
Whose lives are broken like mine

Thank God you've got a home to go to
And a woman's love to keep you warm
You won't find the stars in the honky-tonks and bars
Go home to your woman's loving arms

When you go walking after midnight
Over on the wrong side of town
Walk down any street many lost souls you'll meet
Whose lives are broken like mine
