Woke up this mornin', feelin' so low
Can't shake this darkness wherever I go
The weight of the world, it's drownin' me in sorrow
I've got the midnight blues, can't see no tomorrow
My baby left me, said she found someone new
Feelin' abandoned, don't know what to do
But I'll keep on singin', let the pain flow through
My soul's on fire, I'll make these blues ring true
Ooh, these midnight blues are killin' me
But I'll keep on singin', set my spirit free
With every note I play, every word I say
These blues will guide me, show me the way
(ooh-yeah)
