Midnight Blue

From the album TAKIN' IT EASY (1978)

Ain't no sorrow for that woman. Ain't no pity for this fool
She wrote her name upon my window, signed it "Gone, with love, Midnight Blue."

There's a story goin' 'round here, 'bout a woman dressed in black
Spendin' money and drinkin' whiskey, drivin' 'round in my big black Cadillac
There's a shanty down by the river. They say she went there to meet a friend
They found his body beneath the willows. She signed it "Gone, with love, Midnight Blue."

There's a jailhouse down in this county, with its windows oh so high
They're gonna hang me come Monday morning, write my soul, Midnight Blue, across the sky
Now if I ever get to heaven, I'll look St. Peter in the eye
And say don't you ever let that woman ever appear
She's Satan's daughter, in shades of midnight blue
