Standard (EADGBE)
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
Chorus
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
