Blues in the Night

My mamma done told me

When I was in pigtails

My mamma done told me hon

A man is a two face

He'll give you the big eye

And when the sweet talking's done

A man is a two face

A worrisome thing who'll leave you to sing

The blues in the night

Now the rains a fallin'

Hear the trains a callin' whooee

Hear the lonesome whistle

Blowin' across the trestle whooee

A whooee ah whooee clickety clack

Comes echoing back

The blues in the night

From natchez to mobile

From memphis to st Joe

Wherever the four winds blow

I've been in some big towns

And heard me some big talk

But there is one thing I know

A man is a two face

A worrisome thing who'll leave you to sing

The blues in the night

My mamma done told me

When I was in pig tails

My mamma done told me hon

A man is a two face

He'll give you the big eye

And when the sweet talking's done

A man is a two face

A worrisome thing

Who'll leave you to sing

The blues in the night

My mamma done told me
