Going Crazy Overnight

Old muddy river runs deep and wide,
Ferry boats travel down side by side,
Mississippi gamblers play their hand,
Flapper girls and Dixie bands.
Got a case of music as they sail on down,
Floating cross the water comes a ragtime sound.
They're doing that barefoot jive,
Just to keep the night alive.

Sweet talking mama why you down on me,
All I wanna do is hold you tight.
An empty bed, and a hung-down head,
I go crazy overnight.
Believe me
I go crazy overnight.

Sweet talking mama why you down on me,
All I wanna do is hold you tight.
An empty bed, and a hung-down head,
I go crazy overnight.

Bluebirds signing high above the trees,
Grey moss swinging on the summer breeze.
Time is running slow,
And there ain't no place to go.
On the banks of the river there's a rundown shake.
Piano music filters out between the cracks.
They're doing that barefoot jive,
Just to keep the night alive.

Sweet talking mama why you down on me,
All I wanna do is hold you tight.
An empty bed, and a hung-down head,
I go crazy overnight.
Believe me.
I go crazy overnight.

Sweet talking mama why you down on me,
All I wanna do is hold you tight.
An empty bed, and a hung-down head,
I go crazy overnight.
Believe me.
I go crazy overnight.

Sweet talking mama why you down on me,
All I wanna do is hold you tight.
An empty bed, and a hung-down head,
I go crazy overnight.
Believe me.
I go crazy overnight.

I go crazy overnight.
