John Lee Hooker – Black Night Lyrics

Blues

Black night, keep on falling
Oh, I hate to be alone
Cryin' for my baby
Another night is gone, is gone, is gone, is gone away
My brother is in the railroad
And my sister down in New Orleans
And my father and my mother
Done passed on away
Black night, keep on falling
Oh, I hate to be alone
I keep crying, crying for my baby
Another night is gone, is gone, is gone, is gone
Now, baby, so lonely baby
The street that I live on, a lonely avenue
But I keep on, keep on crying for my baby
Another night, another night is gone, is gone, is gone
Black night, keep on falling
I hate to be alone, hate to be alone
Every night, every day
Now, people, I'm a lonely man
So lonely, so lonely
Blue shadows, keep on falling, baby
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Baby's gone and left me
Don't know what to do
Mother, father's gone
Sister down in New Orleans
Black night, keep on falling
Oh, I hate so bad to be alone, alone
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hate to be alone, hate to be alone
Every night, every dayEveryday, black night, keep fallin'
Oh, I hate to be alone, be alone
I keep cryin' for my baby, another night is gone
I wanna testify that to you
I'm singin' this song, this song, this song to the people
Who feel, feel, feel, feel, feel, same, same way as I do
Oh yes, I am
Oh yes, oh yes
I keep cryin' for my baby
Another night, another night and another day and another day gone by
