Blues in the Night (1963 Version)
My mama done tol' me when I was in pigtails My mama done tol' me A man's gonna sweet-talk and give you the big eyes But when that sweet-talking's done A man is a two-face, a worrisome thing Who'll leave you to sing the blues in the night
Now the rain's a-fallin', hear the train a-callin, whoo-ee My mama done tol' me Hear that lonesome whistle blowin' 'cross the trestle, whoo-ee My mama done tol' me A-whooee-ah-whooee ol' clickety-clack's A-echoin' back th' blues in the night
The evenin' breeze'll start the trees to cryin' And the moon'll hide it's light Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com When you get the blues in the 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've been in some big towns, heard me some big talk But there is one thing I know That a man's a two-face, a worrisome thing Who'll leave you to sing the blues in the night
My Mama then told me A man is a two-face, a worrisome thing Who'll leave you to sing the blues
