South City Midnight Lady Lyrics

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
and night had fled
And sleepy eyed
I reached my bed
I saw you sleepy dreamin'
there all covered and warm

(chorus)
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 street
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

(chorus)

(instrumental)

(chorus)
