Up all night I could not sleep |
|
The whiskey that I drank was cheap |
|
With shakin' hands I went |
|
And I lit up my last cigarette |
|
Well, the sun came, the night had fled |
|
And sleepy eyed I reached my bed |
|
I saw you sleepy dreamin' there |
|
All covered and warm |
|
South City midnight lady |
|
I'm much obliged indeed |
|
You sure have saved this man |
|
Whose soul was in need |
|
I thought there was no reason |
|
For all these things I do |
|
But the smile that I sent out |
|
Returned with you |
|
When day has left the night behind |
|
And shadows roll across my mind |
|
I sometimes find myself alone out |
|
Walkin' the streets |
|
Yes and when I'm feelin' down and blue |
|
Then all I do is think of you |
|
And all my foolish problems |
|
Seem to fade away |
|
South City midnight lady |
|
I'm much obliged indeed |
|
You sure have saved this man |
|
Whose soul was in need |
|
I thought there was no reason |
|
For all these things I do |
|
But the smile that I sent out |
|
Returned with you |
|
South City midnight lady |
|
I'm much obliged indeed |
|
You sure have saved this man |
|
Whose soul was in need |
|
I thought there was no reason |
|
For all these things I do |
|
Yeah, but the smile that I sent out |
|
Returned with you |
