MIDWINTER BLUES
In de middle of de winter,Snow all over de ground.In de middle of de winter,Snow all over de ground,—'Twas de night befo' ChristmasMa good man turned me down.
Don' know's I'd mind his goin'But he left me when de coal was low.Don' know's I'd mind his goin'But he left when de coal was low.Now, if a man loves a womanThat ain't no time to go.
He told me that he loved meBut he must a been tellin' a lie.He told me that he loved me.He must a been tellin' a lie.But he's the only man I'llLove till de day I die.
I'm gonna buy me a rose budAn' plant it at ma back door.Gonna buy me a rose budAnd plant it at ma back door,So when I'm dead theyWon't need no flowers from de store.
