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 jail house 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
