Bilingual
My mama done told me
When I was in knee-pants
My mama done told me, "Son
A woman'll sweet talk
And she'll give you the big eye
But when that sweet talkin's done
A woman's 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', "Whooee!"
My mama done told me
Hear that lonesome whistle
Blowin' 'cross the trestle, "Whooee!"
My mama done told me
A-whooee-oo-whooee
Ol' clickety-clack
Echoin' back
The blues in the night
The evenin' breeze
Will start the trees
To cryin'
And the moon
Will hide its light
When you get the blues in the night
ย
Take my word, the mockingbird
Will sing the saddest kind of 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
And I've heard me some big talk
But there is one thing I know
A woman's a two-face
A worrisome thing
Who'll leave you to sing
The blues in the night
ย
So let me give you fair warnin'
You may feel fine in the mornin'
But look out for
Those blues in the night
