My mama done told me when I was in pigtails
My mama done told me, "Hon
A man's gonna sweet talk and give you the big eye
But when that sweet talkin's done
A man is 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!"
Hear that lonesome whistle
Blowin' 'cross the trestle, "Whooee!"
A-whooee-ah-whooee
Old clickety-clack's a-echoin' back the blues in the night
ย
From Natchez to Mobile, from Memphis to St. Joe
Wherever the four winds blow
I been in some big towns, heard me some big talk
But there is one thing I know
A man is a two-face, a worrisome thing
Who'll leave you to sing the blues in the night
