dark is the night, pts. 1 & 2

Singer:b.b. king

blues has got me

there is teardrops in my eyes

yes the blues has got me

there is teardrops in my eyes

well dark is the night

since my baby said good-bye

oh how i've suffered since my baby went away

yes how i've suffered since my baby went away

and i've got that feeling that my baby's gone to stay

take me back baby

forgive me for the wrong i've done

yes take me back darling

forgive me for the wrong i've done

well i know i love you

and you're the only one

yes talk to me baby

call me on the telephone

yeah talk to me baby

call me on the telephone

yes the blues has got me

and i want my baby home

yes if your baby love you

keep her home and treat her nice

oh if your baby love you

you better keep her home and treat her nice

well never mistreat a good woman

this is some doggone good advice

yes it's been so long since i've seen my baby's face

well it's been so long since i've seen my baby's face

i'm tellin' you people

no one else can ever take her place

yes the doorbell is ringing

i know there must be somethin' wrong

yes the doorbell is ringing

i know it must be somethin' wrong

well looka here it's my baby

she's done changed her mind and come home

so hurry baby

come on in and close the door

yes hurry baby

come on in and close the door

let me put my arms around you baby

so my nights won't be dark no more
