Blues in the night lyrics

My mamma done tol' me,

When I was in knee pants,

My mamma done tol' me, "Son!

A woman'll sweet talk, and give ya the big eye,

But when the sweet talkin's done,

A woman's a two-face,

A worrisome thing who'll leave ya t' sing

The blues in the night"

Now the rain's a-fallin'

Hear the train a-callin' "whoo-ee"!

(My mamma done tol' me.)

Hear that lonesome whistle

Blowin 'cross the trestle, "whooee,"

(My mamma done tol' me.)

A whooee-a-whooee,

Ol' clickety clack's a-echo-in' back the blues in the night

(Hum---)

My mamma was right, there's blues in the night

The evenin breeze - The stars -

The trees a-cryin and the moon

Ll hide it's light

When you get the blues

In the night.Its really tough to get the blues in the night.

Take my word:

The mockingbird

Sings the saddest kind of song;

He knows things are wrong -

And he's right. Yes, he's right to sing the blues in the night.

From Natchez to Mobile;

From Memphis to St. Joe;

Wherever the four winds blow; They blow everywhere!

I been in some big towns, Yeah!

And I done heard me some big talk, Ahh, ahh...

But there's one thing I know: Keep a-talkin.

A womans a-two-faced -

A worrisome thing

Wholl leave you to sing the blues... The blues

In the night.Yes, in the night.

A woman will leave you singin the blues.

I know she will -

My momma was right:

The blues in the night.
