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
