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   And one dark and dreary morning   Baby, when you broke my heart      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'ma quit hanging around
