Sweet little miss midnight
The only girl that I know
With hearts like leather
How in the world could you sow

Went down to Houston
To try to find my gal
She brings cheering
And dancing all round

Sweet little miss midnight
The loneliest girl that I know
When hands struck past nine
I nearly lost my mind

Went down to Houston
To try to find my girl
Who brought cheering
To the whole wide world

Can’t speak of no sunshine
Got only bad thoughts in my mind
How I long to bring you
A .45 in mind

Sweet little miss midnight
The loneliest girl that I know
When hands struck past nine
I nearly lost my mind

Going down to Houston
Aint got no reason in mind
Just going down to
with my .45 in mind
