I was gonna find you, baby,
An’ I was gonna be all yours,
We was gonna be together
Till the time the good Lord comes,
But I’m sitting here alone,
Not afraid that I could lose
An’ I’m humming to the tune of
The Midnight Blues

I was gonna call you, baby,
An’ I was gonna take you for a ride,
Out of this hot, hot little town
Into the endless night,
Bu I find it easier just to
Sit here, eat, drink and snooze,
And imagine your sweet voice singing
The Midnight Blues

I was gonna love you, baby,
An’ you was gonna be mine,
But the time’s a-changin’,
And my life is running by,
An’ I seem to take no notice,
But to sit here and choose
To listen to the soothing sound of
The Midnight Blues
