Blues in the Night

Blues in the Night - Jimmie Lunceford/Martha Tilton

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

My mama done tol' me son 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

My mama done tol' me

Hear dat lonesome whistle blowin' 'cross the trestle whooee

My mama done tol' me

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