Blues in the Night Lyrics
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
