1. My mama done told me, when I was in kneepants, my mama done told me, "Son,
2. From Natchez to Mobile, from Memphis to Saint Joe, wherever the four winds blow
A woman'll sweet talk, and give ya the big eye,
I've been in some big towns and heard me some big talk
But when that sweet talkin's done,
But there's one thing I know
A woman's a two-face, a worrisome thing who'll leave ya to sing
A woman's a two-face, a worrisome thing who'll leave ya to sing
The Blues in the Night."
The Blues in the Night.
CHORUS:
Now the rain's a-fallin, hear the train a - callin' "Whoo-ee" (My mama done told me)
Hear that lonesome whistle blowin' 'cross the trestle, "Whoo-ee" (My mama done told me)
A whoo-ee-duh whoo-ee, O'l clickety clack's a echoin' back the Blues in the Night.
BRIDGE AFTER CHORUS:
The evening breeze'll start the trees to cryin'
And the moon'll hide its light, when you get the Blues in the Night
Take my word, the mockingbird'll sing the saddest kind of song
He knows things are wrong, and he's right
ENDING AFTER SECOND VERSE (SKIP THE CHORUS AND TO GO THIS):
So let me give ya fair warnin', you might feel fine in the mornin', but look out for
Those Blues in the Night
