This is the first version of a song that became very famous with the arrangement/contribution of the great B.B. King.

 

"Now here it is three o' clock in the mornin'

Can't even close my eyes

Oh, three o' clock in the mornin', baby

Can't even close my eyes

Well, I can't find my baby

Lord, and I can't be satisfied

Lord, I've looked around me

Whoa, my baby can't be found

Whoa, looked all around me, people

Whoa, my baby can't be found

Well, if I don't find my baby

I'm goin' down to the boilin' ground, that's where the mens hang out

Well, I'm bound to find her

Yeah

Come here, baby

Well, goodbye, everybody

Lord, I believe this is the end

Oh, goodbye, everybody

Lord, I believe this is the end

Well, you can tell my baby

To forgive me for my sins..."
