Dark Night Blues

I got the dark night blues

I'm feeling awful bad

I got the dark night blues

Mama, I'm feeling awful bad

That's the worst ol' feeling

That a good man have ever had

I followed my brown

From the depot to the train

I followed my fair brown

From the depot to the train

And the blues came down

Like dark night showers o' rain

I drink so much whiskey

I stagger when I'm sleep

Drink so much whiskey

I stagger when I'm sleep

My brains are dark and cloudy

My mind's gone to my feet

I got the blues so bad

I can feel them in the dark

I got the blues so bad

I can feel them in the dark

And one dark and dreary morning

Baby, when you broke my heart

I got a fair brown in Atlanta

Got one in Macon too

I got a fair brown in Atlanta

Got one in Macon too

I got one in Statesboro

Give me them old dark night blues

Everything I told you

Went and told your outside man

Everything I told you

Mama, you went and told your outside man

But I want to tell you something

Your good man can't stand

Riding the PNP Special

Mama, and I'm leaving this town

Riding the PNP Special

Baby, and I'm leaving this town

Say you didn't want me

I'ma quit hanging around
