Blues In The Night (From Film: "Blues In The Night")

Blues In The Night - Woody Herman And His Orchestra

Lyrics by：Harold Arlen

Composed by：Harold Arlen

My mama done tol' me

When I was in kneepants

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 t' sing

The blues in the night

Now the rain's a-fallin'

Hear the train a-callin'

Whoo-ee my mama done tol' me

Hear that lonesome whistle

Blowin' 'cross the trestle

Whoo-ee my mama done tol' me

A whoo ee duh whoo ee

Ol' clickety clack's a-echoin' 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 woman's a two face

A worrisome thing who'll leave ya t' sing

The blues in the night
