Blues in the Night Lyrics
Blues In The Night - Dinah Washington
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 "
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
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 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
I been in some big towns an' 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
