She left me this morning midnight was turning day
She left me this morning midnight was turning day
I didn't have no blues untill my good gal went away

I got the blues like midnight moon shining bright as day
Yeah I got the blues like midnight moon shining bright as day
I wish a tornado would blow my blues away

One of these mornings I'm sure gonna leave this town (it's killin' me honey)
One of these mornings I'm sure gonna leave your town
Cause you trifling women really keep a good man down

I got the blues like midnight...
[ guitar ]
A woman will follow you right to the jailhouse door
A woman will follow you right to the jailhouse door
Then she'll laugh and tell you you can't fuss and fight no more

I got the blues like midnight...
She left me this morning midnight was turning day...
