Description?
Lyrics[Verse 1]
Last night at the cabaret
The music I heard I can't forget
When the band struck up a minor tone
Everybody [stayed/played/say it/playin'] with me until the break of dawn
Just about half past 4:00
Somebody called me to the door

[Verse 2]
Got a telegram this mornin', could not keep from cryin'
Got a telegram this mornin', just could not keep from cryin'
So I caught me a train, I'm goin' back to Birmingham a-flyin'
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
My left eye jumps, black cats cross my door
My left eye jumps, black cats cross my door
Honey, I know by that I'm bound to hear some bad news sure

[Verse 4]
Old women faintin', young women screamin' and cryin'
Old women faintin', young women screamin' and cryin'
I found my man was dead and the rollin' mill had donе burned downYou might also like
