Up all night I could not sleep,
the whiskey that I drank was cheap,
with shakin' hands
I went and I lit up my last cigarette.
Well, the sun came, night had fled,
and sleepy-eyed I reached my bed,
I saw you sleepy dreamin'
there all covered and warm.
South city midnight lady, I'm much obliged indeed,
you sure have saved this man
whose soul was in need.
I thought there was no reason
for all these things I do,
but the smile that I sent out returned with you.
When day has left the night behind,
and shadows roll across my mind,
I sometimes find myself alone 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
South city midnight lady, I'm much obliged indeed,
you sure have saved this man
whose soul was in need.
I thought there was no reason
for all these things I do,
but the smile that I sent out returned with you.
South city midnight lady, I'm much obliged indeed,
you sure have saved this man
whose soul was in need.
I thought there was no reason
for all these things I do,
hey, but the smile that I sent out
returned with you
