[Intro]
It's three o'clock in the mornin' and my man hasn't come home yet

[Verse 1]
Nighttime's fallin', the day is almost gone
Nighttime is fallin', the day is almost gone
My man leaves at midnight and don't come back till early morn

[Verse 2]
The night is dark and dreary, I can't see what to do
The night is dark and dreary, I can't see what to do
I wonder why he leaves me to roll and cry the whole night thru

[Instrumental Break]
Lord, have mercy

[Verse 3]
It's three o'clock in the mornin' by the clock hangin' on the wall
...in the mornin' by the clock hangin' on the wall
He used to come home at midnight, now he don't come home at all

[Verse 4]
When day starts to breakin', it seems to brings good nеws
When day starts to breakin', it seems to brings good news
It finds mе brokenhearted, tryin' to overcome these nighttime blues
