Lyrics:
Blue little girl, She waits for a rainbow.
Blue little girl, She waits patiently.
All the colors she knows fade to blue but it glows,
Like the blue little girl wants to be.
And oh by the way now oh didn't I tell you,
A long time ago that the blue little girl was me.

Blue little girl, She imagines a land where her feet can run wild, and her thoughts can be free.
In the mind of the girl, She is hoping to be what the eyes of a lady might see.
And oh by the way now oh didn't I tell you,
A long time ago that the blue little girl was me.

Blue little girl She is gone from that window,
Her feet have run wild,
And her thoughts have gone free.
And the mind of the lady remembers a girl,
But it's only a vague memory.
And oh by the way now oh didn't I tell you,
A long time ago that the blue little girl was me.

Blue little girl.

The Lyrics:
This song is just a little thing
It doesn't last too long.
It's not too much of anything,
but you can sing along.
And just in case you're wondering
the meaning of my song.
It's just a little song to sing.

I hope you don't expect too much.
The words don't make much sense.
They really don't say such and such.
So please don't take offense.
And just in case you're wondering
There's really no suspense.
It's just a little dalliance.

So thanks to you for listening.
It's been my pleasure too.
I hope some day in memories,
you'll think of me and you,
and how we sang together when.
you knew me way back then,
and sing my little song again.

Good Morning To You My Sweetheart

Good Morning To You My Sweetheart (Ver. 2024)

What goes through my mind whenever I play the lovely tune Midnight on the Water? It's a romantic rendezvous of man and woman dancing in the moonlight as the water swirls around their legs and illuminates their silhouettes. I am playing the tune on my accordion with my husband playing rhythm guitar and bass guitar, to create the background music for this fantasy video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yISMOEvYTI  

Ever since Tom and I first heard this lovely Texas waltz, Midnight on the Water, on a David Bromberg album, we have loved this tune. So, it was one of the first tunes I learned when I picked up playing the accordion. And playing Midnight on the Water always evokes the same romance for me.

We have played Midnight on the Water for many performances and dances, and with many musician friends over the years. It's especially nice to play for the waltz selection of a dance. Thank you for enjoying this little vignette. -- Mary Kay Aufrance

About Midnight on the Water:
Genres: Folk Music, American Traditional Music

Midnight on the Water is a popular melody that's usually credited to Texas fiddler Luke Thomasson, although it has been published by his son Benny, who lore says heard his father and uncle playing the tune on the family porch around 1900. Also, many music historians have noted this tune is quite similar to a n old Oklahoma tune called "Old Paint," and there is an ongoing debate about whether "Midnight" is derivative of "Paint" (or the other way around). The Library of Congress recording "Cowboy Songs, Ballads, and Cattle Calls from Texas" (LOC lp L28), collected by John A. Lomax, includes a version of the "Paint" song, and it is a very similar melody to "Midnight on the Water."
