Lyrics
My sweetheart went away last night, that’s why she’s so unkind
Every time she goes away she’s always on my mind
All night long, well it’s all night long
All night long, that’s I’ve been dreaming
All night long, from midnight on
All night long, ever returning
Mama’s sweet baby cryin' all night long
My sweetheart went away last night, I don’t know what to do
Every time she goes away I feel so awfully blue
All night long, all night long
All night long, that’s I been dreaming
I’m dreaming of you all night long
All night long, ever returning
Mama’s sweet baby cryin' all night long
Well, I went to the dance last night and I walked up to the hall
I peeped into the window, there’s another man in my stall
All night long, all night long
All night long, that’s I been dreaming
I’m dreaming of you all night long
All night long, ever returning
Mama’s sweet baby cryin' all night long
Yella gal sleeps in a foldin' bed, the fair brown slept the same
My gal made her a pallet in the floor, she’s noozlin' just the same
All night long, all night long
All night long, that’s I been dreaming
All night long, my honey girl
All night long, ever returning
Mama’s sweet baby cryin' all night long
Yella gal, she rides in an automobile, the fair brown rides the same
My gal rides an old oxcart, she’s ridin' just the same
All night long, well it’s all night long
The yella gal smells like fresh perfume, the fair brown smells the same
My gal smells like an nasty goat, she’s smellin' just the same
All night long, well it’s all night long
All night long, that’s I been dreaming
All night long, all night long
All night long, ever returning
Mama’s sweet baby cryin' all night long
