When that midnight hour went chiming, 
I was in my room alone 
Yes, when that midnight hour went chiming, 
I was in my room alone 
Yes, and when I came home this evening, 
I found my baby gone 

Oh, I laid my head on my pillow, 
I gazed up at the stars up above 
Yes, I laid my head on my pillow, 
yes, lookin' up at the stars above 
I tell you it's a miserable feeling, 
oh, when you lose the one you love 

Oh, I get the blues at midnight, 
oh there's one thing I can't describe 
Oh, I get the blues at midnight, 
oh there's one thing I can't describe Yes, 
and when you look at your baby's picture, 
oh, tears will come from your eyes
