Midnight Till Dawn

I work everyday in a trucker's cafe

And at night I serve drinks in a bar

I've nothing to say to the men who drop by

So that none of them get very far.

You may think that it's money but that's not the reason

That keeps me a laborin' on

'Cause I'm working from morning till midnight

And I'm weepin' from midnight till dawn.

For once I was happy and full of the future

That only a young girl can plan

A lifetime of love all wrapped up in a bundle

And placed in the hands of the man.

But then he found another, he told me he love her

He jumped in his rig and was gone

So I'm working from morning till midnight

And I'm weepin' from midnight till dawn.

Oh, life isn't easy and I'm nearly crazy

Just tryin' to keep myself stay

But how can I try when I know

If I sock him I'd do it all over again.

So I give all my love to my sweet little baby

As only a poor mother can

And I'm working from morning till midnight

And I'm weepin' from midnight till dawn...
