Lyrics
My mama done told me
When I was in deep past
My mama done told me
"Son, a woman will sweet talk
And give you the big eye
But when the sweet talking's done
A woman's a two-faced
A worrisome thing
Who'll leave you to sing
The blues in the night"
Now the rains are falling
Hear the train a-calling
Oo-wee, my mama done told me
Hear that lonesome whistle
Blowing 'cross the trestle
Oo-wee, my mama done told me
A-oo-wee-oo-wee
Clickety-clack
A-echoing back
The blues in the night
The evening breeze will start
The trees are crying
And the moon will hide its light
When you get the blues in the night
Take my word
The mockingbird will sing the saddest kind of song
He knows things are wrong and he's right
Yes, from Natchez to Mobile
From Memphis to St. Joe
Wherever the four winds blow
I've been in some big towns
I've heard me some big talk
But there is one thing I know
A woman's a two-faced
A worrisome thing
Who'll leave you to sing
The blues in the night
The blues in the night
In the night
