Lyrics Midnight Blues - Ethel Waters

Midnight Blues

Daddy, daddy, please come back to me
Daddy, daddy, please come back to me
Your mama’s lonesome as she can be
You left at midnight, clock was striking twelve
Papa, you left me at midnight when that clock was strikin' twelve
To face this cruel world all by myself
Woke up at midnight sad and blue
Missed my daddy from my side
Left alone to bemoan my fate
That’s why I’m sighin', cryin', I just can’t refuse
I feel so troubled, heartbroken too
Woe and misery I can’t hide
At twelve o' clock, I unlock my hate
I get the meanest kind of lonesome midnight blues
I feel so troubled, heartbroken too
Woe and misery I can’t hide
At twelve o’clock, I unlock my hate
I get the meanest kind of lonesome midnight blues
Those lonesome midnight blues
