Blues In The Night Lyrics
Blues In The Night - Dinah Shore
Written by:Mercer/Arlen/Johnny Mercer
My momma done told me
When I was in pigtails
My momma done told me hon
A man's gonna sweet talk
And he give a big eye
But when that sweet talkin's done
A man is a two faced
A worrisome thing
Who'll leave you to sing the blues in the night
Now the rain's a fallin'
Hear the trains are callin' hooey
My momma done told me
Hear that lonesome whistle
Blowing across the trestle
Hooe hooe hooey
My momma done told me
Ahooey ahooey
Old clickety clack is echoin'
Back the blues in the night
The evenin' breeze will start
The trees to cryin'
And the moon will dim it's light
When you get the blues in the night
Mark my word
The mockingbird
Will sing the saddest kind of song
He knows things are wrong
And he's right
Wohhhh
Hmmmm
From natchez to mobile
From memphis to St Joe
Wherever the four winds blow
Well I been in some big towns
Heard me some big talk
But there is one thing I know
A man is a two faced
A worrisome thing
Who'll leave you to sing the blues in the night
Hhmmmmm
Wohhhh
My momma done told me
There's blues in the night
