Blues In The Night

My mama done told me when I was in pig tails

My mama done told me, hon

A woman will sweet talk and give you the beg eyes

But when the sweet talkin's done

A woman's a two faced, 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', ooh wee

My mama done told me

Hear that lonesome whistle blowin' cross the trestle, ooh wee

My mama done told me

A hoot and a hoot and a hoot and a hoot and a hoot

Old clickety clack 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, ooh wee, ooh wee

From Natchez to Mobile, from Memphis to St. Joe

Wherever the four winds blow

I been to some big towns and heard me some big talk

But there is one thing I know

A man is a two faced, a worrisome thing

Who'll leave you to sing the blues in the night

Ooh wee ooh wee, ooh wee ooh wee, ooh wee ooh wee

My mama was right, there's blues in the night
