  Up  all night I could not sleep
  The whiskey  that I drank was cheap
  With shakin'  hands I wait 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 to you
  You sure  have saved this man  who's soul  was in need
  I  thought there was no reason
  For all  these things I do
  But the smile  that I said I've  returned  I'm with you
  When  day has left the night behind
  And shadows  roll across my mind
  I sometimes  find myself alone  and out walking 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
