Oh, ee, oh
Oh, ee, oh
My mama was right
There's blues in the night
My mama done told me
When I was in knee-pants
My mama done told me, "Son
A woman'll sweet talk
And give you the big eye
But when the sweet talkin's done
A woman's a two-face
A worrisome thing
That leaves you to sing
The blues in the night"
Now the rain's a-fallin'
Hear the train a-callin', "Ooh, ee"
Hear that lonesome whistle
Blowin' 'cross the trestle, "Ooh, ee"
A "ooh, ee" da "ooh, ee"
A clickety-clack
Keeps 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
Take my word
That 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
I've heard me some big talk
But there is one thing I know
A woman's a two-face
A worrisome thing
That will leave you to sing
Blues in the night
ย
Oh, ee, oh
Oh, ee, oh
My mama was right
There's blues in the night
