Blues in the Night

Blues In The Night - Leslie

My mama done told me when I was in pigtails

My mama done told me

A man's gonna sweet talk

And he give you the big eye

But when the sweet talkin is done

A man'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

My mama done told me

Hear dat lonesome whistle

Blowin' cross the trestle whooee

My mama done told me

A-whooee-ah-whooee

Old 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

And I've heard me some big talk

But there is one thing I know

A man's a two-face

A worrisome thing who'll leave ya to sing

The blues in the night

Whoo whoo whoo whoo

My mama was right

These blues in the night
