He left me this morning, midnight was turning day
He left me this morning, midnight was turning day
I didn't have no blues till my good man went away

Got the blues like midnight, Moon shining bright as day
Got the blues like midnight, Moon shining bright as day
I wish a tornado would come and blow my blues away

Now one of these mornings, I'm gonna leave this town
Yeah, one of these mornings, I'm gonna leave this town
'Cause you trifling men really keep a good gal down

When a woman's down, you men don't want her round
When a woman's down, you men don't want her round
But if she's got money, she's the sweetest gal in town
Yeah, lookey here buddy, see what you've done, done
Yeah, lookey here buddy, see what you've done, done
You've made me love ya, now you're regular momma's home

Got the blues like midnight, Moon shining bright as day, Lord, Lord
Got the blues like midnight, Moon shining bright as day
I wish a tornado would blow my blues away
