Three in the Morning Blues

Verse 1

Three in the morning, motel sign flickers

Bottle half empty, trouble on my mind

Long road behind me, nothing but miles of highway

Left my home in Memphis, left my love behind

Verse 2

She had eyes like Georgia peaches

Voice like honey dripping slow

I was just a rambling gambler

Didn't know which way to go

Chorus

Lucille's crying low tonight

Singing everything I can't say right

Every string pulled tight with pain

Trying to wash away the shame

Verse 3

Phone booth on the corner

Dime's still in my hand

Number I been dialing

In the sand

Chorus

Lucille's crying low tonight

Singing everything I can't say right

Every string pulled tight with pain

Trying to wash away the shame

Bridge

(B.B.'s solo moans)

Lord, have mercy

Lord, have mercy on this man

Outro

That's all

That's all I got to say

Mm-hmm

That's all
