Lyrics Midnight Blues - Original - Ethel Waters

Midnight Blues - Original

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 the clock was striking 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', crying
I just can’t refuse
I feel so troubled, heart-broken, 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, heart-broken, 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
