Ma Rainey — Night Time Blues Take 2

[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
