Blues in the Night

Blues in the Night - Jesse Belvin/Jessie

My mama done tol' me when I was in knee-pants

My mama done tol' me son well a woman'll sweet talk

And give ya the big eye but when the sweet talkin's done

A woman's 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

Hear dat lonesome whistle blowin' 'cross the trestle whooee

A-whooee-ah-whooee ol' clickety-clack's a-echoin' back th' blues in the night

The evenin' breeze'll start the trees to cryin'

And the moon'll hide its light when you get the blues in the night

Take my word the mockingbird'll oh heal

Sing the saddest kind o' song

He knows things are wrong

And he's right

From natchez to mobile from memphis to St Joe

Wherever the four winds blow

Well

I been in some big towns an' baby

I heard me some big talk

But there is one thing I know

A woman's a two-face

A worrisome thing who'll leave ya to sing the blues in the night

My mama done tol' me

My mama done tol' me

A woman's a two-face well a worrisome thing who'll

Leave ya to sing the blues in the night
