Backwater Blues |
| 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 my heart’s in trouble, and my mind is thinking deep |
| 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 |
| You come to me yesterday, been with me all night long |
| 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 |
