In the wee midnight hours, long before the break of day In the wee midnight hours, 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 thinking 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 anymore 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've been so worried, I didn't know what to do I've been so worried, I didn't know what to do So I guess that's why, I've had these midnight hour blues
