Darkest Hour

by Hans Theessink recording of 1987 resp. 1998 from Baby Wants To Boogie (Flying Fish FF-70455) & Blue Grooves From Vienna (a 50th birthday celebration), 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 Oh, the sun is nearly rising

I cleaned up my tab for Sonny Boy's Help Me and made it into a short book. There's a Kindle version for 99 cents, and if you buy the paperback you get the Kindle free.
