Midnight Hour Blues
By Leroy Carr

In the wee midnight hour, long before the break of day
In the wee midnight hour, long before the break of day
When the blues creep up on you and carry your mind away

While I lay in my bed and cannot go to sleep
While I lay in my bed and cannot go to sleep
While my heart's in trouble and my mind is sinking deep

My mind was running back to days of long ago
My mind was running back to days of long ago
And the one I love, I don't see her any more


Blues, why do you worry me, why do you stay so long?
Blues, why do you worry me, why do you stay so long?
You come to me yesterday, been with me all night long

I'd been so worried, I didn't know what to do
I'd been so worried, I didn't know what to do
So I guess that's why I've had these midnight hour blues
