Lyrics
Black Night
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Nobody cares about me
Ain't even got a friend
Baby's gone and left me
When will my troubles end
Black night is fallin'
Oh, how I hate to be alone
I keep crying for my baby
But now another day is gone
I've got no one to talk with
To tell my troubles to
Don't even know I'm living since I lost you
Black night is fallin'
Oh, how I hate to be alone
I keep crying for my baby
But now another day is gone
My mother has her troubles
My father has his too
My brother's in Korea
And I don't know just what to do
Black night, black night is fallin'
Oh, how I hate to be alone
I keep crying for my baby
But now another day is gone
