Blues In The Night (My Mama Done Tol' Me) Songtext / Lyric

My mama done tol' me, when I was in knee-pants

My mama done tol' me, "" Son a woman'll sweet talk""Andgive ya the big eye, but when the sweet talkin's done

A woman's a two-face, A worrisome thing who'llleave ya to sing the blues in the night

Now the rain's a-fallin', hear the train's a-callin,""Whooee!""(My mama done tol' me) Hear dat lonesome whistle blowin' 'cross the trestle, ""Whooee!""(Mymama done tol' me) A-whooee-ah-whooee ol' clickety-clack's a-echoin' back th' blues in the night

Theevenin' breeze'll start the trees to cryin' and the moon'll hide its light when you get the blues inthe night

Take my word, the mockingbird'll sing the saddest kind o' song, he knows things are wrong, and he's right

From Natchez to Mobile, from Memphis to St. Joe, wherever the four winds blow

I beenin some big towns an' heard me some big talk, but there is one thing I know

A woman's a two-face, aworrisome thing who'll leave ya to sing the blues in the night

My mama was right, there's blues in
