My mama done told me
When I was in knee pants
My mama done told me, "Son
Yes, a woman will sweet talk
And give you the big eye
But when the sweet talking is done
A woman's a two-face
A worrisome thing
To leave you singing the blues in the night"
Now the rain is falling
Yeah, the train's a-calling
Woo-ee
My mama done told me
Yeah, that lonesome whistle
Blowing 'cross the trestle
Woo-ee
Yes, my mama done told me
A-woo-ee, da-woo-ee
Oh, clickety-clack easy
Going back the blues in the night
The evening breeze
Has started the trees
To crying and the moon
Hiding its light
When you get the blues in the night
ย
Boy, take my word
The mockingbird
Who sings the saddest kind of song
He knows things are wrong
And he's right
ย
From Natchez to Mobile
From Memphis to St. Joe
Wherever the four winds blow
Yes, I've been to big towns
Heard me some big talk
But there's one thing I know
A woman's a two-face
A worrisome thing
Who leave you singing the blues in the night
From Natchez to Mobile
From Memphis to St. Joe
Wherever the four winds blow
Look here boy
I've been to some big towns
Yeah, dug them all
And heard me some big talk too
But there's one thing I know
Yes, a woman's a two-face
A worrisome thing
Who leave you singing the blues in the night
My low lights
My mama, yeah
My mama was right
There's a blues every night
