Blues in the Night

Blues in the Night - Cab Calloway (凱伯·凱洛威)

My momma done tol' me

When I was in knee pants

My momma done tol' me son what did she tell you

A woman gon' sweet talk yeah

And give you de glad eyes ah ahh

But when that sweet talk is done keep on a talkin'

A woman's a two faced

A worrisome thing

Who'll leave you to sing the blues the blues

In the night yes in the night

Now the rain's a fallin'

Hear the train a callin' oohee

My momma done tol' me oh

Hey that lonesome whistle's

Blowin' 'cross the trestle oohee

My momma done tol' me hey ahooee ahooee

A clickety clackin'

And echoin' back at the blues

In the night

The evenin' breeze the stars

The trees a cryin' and the moon

'Ll hide it's light

When you get the blues

In the night it's really tough to get the blues

In the night

Take my word

The mockingbird

Sings the saddest kind of song

He knows things are wrong

And he's right yes he's right to sing the blues

In the night

From natchez to mobile

From memphis to st joe

Wherever the four winds blow they blow everywhere

I been in some big towns yeah

And I done heard me some big talk ahh ahh

But there's one thing I know keep a talkin'

A woman's a two faced

A worrisome thing

Who'll leave you to sing the blues the blues

In the night yes in the night

A woman will leave you singin' the blues

You right boy

My momma was right

The blues in the night
