este azul foi gravado originalmente por lowell fulson em 1946, mas meia dúzia de anos depois 
esta versão marcou o início da carreira de riley ben king, tendo desde então passado a fazer parte 
do seu repertório habitual. continua a ouvir-se com agrado, mesmo que não sejam três da manhã.

Well now, it's three o'clock in the morning

And I can't even close my eyes.

Three o'clock in the morning

And I can't even close my eyes.

Can't find my baby

And I can't be satisfied.

I've looked all around me

And my baby can't be found.

I've looked all around me, people,

And my baby can't be found.

You know if I don't find my baby,

I'm going down to the golden ground.

Goodbye everybody,

I believe this is the end.

Oh, goodbye everybody,

I believe this is the end.

I want you to tell my baby,

Tell her please, please forgive me,

Forgive me for my sins.
