Blues in the Night Lyrics

My mommy done tol' me, when I was in pigtails My mommy done tol' me, "Hon, a man's gonna sweet talk And give ya the big eye, but when the sweet talkin's done
A man is a two-face, a worrisome thing Who'll leave ya to sing the blues in the night"
Now the rain's a fallin' Hear the train's a callin', "Whooee!" My mommy done tol' me
Hear dat lonesome whistle Blowin' 'cross the trestle "Whooee!"
My mommy done tol' me A-whooee-ah-whooee ol' clickety-clack's a echoin' back The blues in the night
The evenin' breeze'll start the trees to cryin' And the moon'll hide it's light When you get the blues in the night
Take my word The mockingbird'll 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 been in some big towns An' heard me some big talk But there is one thing I know
A man is a two-face, a worrisome thing Who'll leave ya to sing the blues in the night
My mommy was right There's blues in the night
