Night Time Blues Take 2 by Ma Rainey Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1925

[Intro]
It's three o’clock in the mornin' and my man hasn't come home yet

[Verse 1]
Nighttime’s fallin', the day is almost gone
Nighttime is fallin', the day is almost gone
My man leaves at nightfall and don't come back 'til early morn

[Verse 2]
The night is dark and dreary, I can't see what to do
The night is dark and dreary, I can't see what to do
I wonder why he leave me to roll and cry the whole night through

[Instrumental Break]
Lord, have mercy

[Verse 3]
It's three o’clock in the mornin’ by the clock hangin' on the wall
It’s three o'clock in the mornin' by the clock hangin' on the wall
He used to come at midnight, but now he don’t come home at all
[Verse 4]
When day starts a-breakin', it seems to brings good news
Whеn day starts a-breakin', it seems to brings good news
It finds me brokеnhearted, tryin' to overcome these blues
