He left me this morning, midnight was turning day
He left me this morning, midnight was turning day
I didn't have no blues till my good man went away
Yodel-ay yodel-ay yodel-ay-ee

Got the blues like midnight, moon shining bright as day
I got the blues like midnight, moon shining bright as day
I wish a tornado would blow my blues away
Yodel-ay yodel-ay yodel-ay-ee

One of these mornings, I'm gonna leave this town
One of these mornings, I'm gonna leave this town
'Cause you're trifling me and really keep a good gal down
Yodel-ay yodel-ay yodel-ay-ee

I got the blues like midnight, moon shining bright as day
Got the blues like midnight, moon shining bright as day
I wish a tornado would come and blow my blues away
Yodel-ay yodel-ay yodel-ay-ee
