My ma-ma done tol' me,
when I was in knee-pants
My ma-ma done tol' me, "Son,
a wom-an-'ll sweet talk"
And give ya the big eye,
but when the sweet talk-in's done
A wom-an's a two-face,
a wor-ri-some thing who'll leave ya t' sing
the blues in the night
Now the rain's a-fall-in',
hear the train a-call-in, "Whoo-ee!"
(My ma-ma done tol' me)
Hear dat lone-some whis-tle
Blow-in' 'cross the tres-tle, "Whoo-ee!"
(My ma-ma done tol' me)
A-whoo-ee-duh-whoo-ee
ol' click-e-ty-clack's a-ech-o-in' back
th' blues in the night
The eve-nin' breeze-'ll start
the trees to cry-in'
and the moon-'ll hide it's light
when you get the blues in the night
Take my word, the mock-in'-bird-'ll
sing the sad-dest kind o' song,
he knows things are wrong, and he's right
he knows things are wrong, and he's right
From Nat-chez to Mo-bile,
from Mem-phis to St. Joe,
wher-ev-er the four winds blow
I been in some big towns
An' heard me some big talk,
but there is one thing I know
A wom-an's a two-face,
a wor-ri-some thing who'll leave ya t' sing
the blues in the night
My ma-ma was right,
there's blues in the night.
