Dark Night Blues lyrics
Songwriters: Mctell, Willie;

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
