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 'Cause one dark and dreary morning Baby, when you broke my heart Ahh play it, Mr. McTell. Just worry it. Just kill it! 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'm gon' quit hanging around
