Oh, between midnight and mornin'
That's when the blues fell down on me
Oh, it was 'tween midnight and mornin'
That's when the blues fell down on me
Between my woman and I
Either one of us just could not agree
I looked all over my life
Love ain't been nothin' but the blues for me
Oh, I looked all of my lifetime
Ain't been nothin' but the blues for me
Love would be grand
Had a ninety-nine years guarantee
I don't beg for mercy
Don't beg mercy for me
Oh, I don't beg for mercy
And don't beg mercy for me
I laid down this mornin'
I was blues any man could be
ย
Oh, some people can keep love
There's some turn love into hate
Oh, there's some can keep love, keep love
And there's some people turn love into hate
Before I take any more chances
I think I just stick around and wait
