"Midnight Hour Blues" lyrics - JOHN HAMMOND

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
