MIDWINTER BLUES
(Langston Hughes)


A —   D7 — A / A7 D D7 — A / E7 D7 E7 A / (start verse 2) E7

In de middle of de winter, snow all over de ground,
In de middle of de winter, snow all over de ground,
'Twas de night befo' Christmas ma good man turned me down.

Don' know's I'd mind his goin' but he left me when de coal was low.
Don' know's I'd mind his goin' but he left when de coal was low.
Now if a man loves a woman that ain't no time to go.

A7 — D — A / A7 — D D7— A / E7 D7 E7 A / (guitar only) nc/E

He told me that he loved me, but he must-a been tellin' a lie.
Oh yes, he told me that he loved me, he must-a been tellin' a lie.
But he's de only man I'll love 'til the day I die.

A —   D7 — A / A7 D D7 — A / E7 D7 E7 A /

I'm gonna buy me a rosebud an' / plant it at my back door.
Gonna buy me a rosebud, an' / plant it at ma back door.
So when I'm dead they won't need no flowers from de store.
