I posted a recording of this song ten years ago now, but felt like doing it again. :-) This is Dave Van Ronk´s version of Midnight Hour Blues. I hope you like it. Complete lyrics below. Here´s a link to the recording I did back in 2008: ua-cam.com/video/nYr3Dvlpq_g/v-deo.html If you´re into nature, hiking, dogs, the outdoors in general, check out my other channel called Freedom in Nature: ua-cam.com/channels/xw7.html... LYRICS: In the midnight hours before the break of day In the midnight hours before the break of day When the blues come wandering steal you mind away I went to bed last night babe I was turning from side to side I went to bed last night babe turning from side to side I was not sick I was just dissatisfied In bed last night babe I was tryin' to take my rest I was in bed last night babe tryin' to take my rest My mind kept wandering like the wild geese in the west I said good morning blues blues how do you do Oh good morning blues blues how do you do I thought I'd drop by and have a few words with you Blues made me take to whiskey roll on the floor and cry Oh blues made me take to whiskey role on the floor. Role on the floor and cry Oh you made me take cocaine but you wouldn't let me die Blues jumped a rabbit run it for a solid mile Blues jumped a rabbit and run it for a solid mile Poor fellar laid down and he cried and he cried and he cried like a natural child In the midnight hours before the break of day In the midnight hours before the break of day When the blues come wandering steal you mind away
What I really like about blues is it's simplicity and sincerity of the lyrics,,,you have these very casual and natural singing..that makes the song beautiful...fun to watch my friend...
Thank You so much for sharing this wonderful cover ! Liked and enjoyed listening really enormously ! :-) Wish You a happy evening ! Many friendly greetings :-)
Hey I thought I was already subbed. Not sure what happened there. I am now! I actually do watch your videos from my feed though! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you! 🙂 Haven’t been much much online lately, and haven’t posted any videos in a while. But I’ve got plenty of songs ready to be recorded. Just need the right motivation. And listening to musicians like you makes me wanna start posting again. 👍
Wonderful version of some classic DVR, Hakon. Always a pleasure to hear you pay tribute to him. You do so, so well. Have you read "The Mayor of McDougal Street"?
Hi! Sorry for the late respond. Thank you for the kind words. :-) Yes, I´ve read it. Very interesting book. I hope you´re doing good and that you are well in these Corona-times.

LYRICS:
In the midnight hours before the break of day
In the midnight hours before the break of day
When the blues come wandering steal you mind away
I went to bed last night babe I was turning from side to side
I went to bed last night babe turning from side to side
I was not sick I was just dissatisfied
In bed last night babe I was tryin' to take my rest
I was in bed last night babe tryin' to take my rest
My mind kept wandering like the wild geese in the west
I said good morning blues blues how do you do
Oh good morning blues blues how do you do
I thought I'd drop by and have a few words with you
Blues made me take to whiskey roll on the floor and cry
Oh blues made me take to whiskey role on the floor. Role on the floor and cry
Oh you made me take cocaine but you wouldn't let me die
Blues jumped a rabbit run it for a solid mile
Blues jumped a rabbit and run it for a solid mile
Poor fellar laid down and he cried and he cried and he cried like a natural child
In the midnight hours before the break of day
In the midnight hours before the break of day
When the blues come wandering steal you mind away
