Oh the sun is nearly rising
And the night is almost gone
And the night is almost gone
The darkest hour is just before dawn

Won't you cuddle up a little closer
Mama won't you hold my hand
Mama won't you hold my hand
The blues is creeping on me
Got to loose 'em if I can

Oh, the sun is nearly rising

I can hear the rooster crowing
Mama 't ain't long fore day
Mama 't ain't long fore day
Wait for the sunshine
To drive my blues away
