I woke up this morning
Between midnight and day
I woke up this morning
Between midnight and day
With my head on the pillow
Where my baby used to lay
Listen, did you ever dream lucky
And wake up cold in hand
Did you ever dream lucky
And wake up cold in hand
Well, that's a mighty true sign
Your woman's got another man
Listen, I should have seen it comin'
But I didn't see the sign
I should have seen it comin'
But I didn't see the sign
My mama always told me
Ya gotta read between the lines
I ain't good lookin'
My teeth don't shine like pearls
I know I ain't good lookin'
And my teeth don't shine like pearls
But I'm so glad good looks
Don't take ya through this world
Between midnight and day
Between midnight and day
The pillow wept with midnight tears
Where my baby used to lay"
