My momma done tol' me
When I was in knee-pants
My momma done tol' me, "Son, What did she tell you?
A woman gon' sweet-talk Yeah!
And give you de glad-eyes, Ah, ahh
But when that sweet-talk is done: Keep on a- talkin'
A woman's a two-faced
A worrisome thing
Who'll leave you to sing the blues... The blues
In the night." Yes, in the night
Now the rain's a-fallin'
Hear the train a-callin' - Oohee
My momma done tol' me. Oh
Hey, that lonesome whistle's
Blowin' 'cross the trestle. Oohee
My momma done tol' me. Hey, ahooee - ahooee!
A clickety-clackin'
And echoin' back at the blues
In the night
The evenin' breeze - The stars
The trees a-cryin' and the moon
'll hide its light
When you get the blues
In the night. It's really tough to get the blues in the night
Take my word
The mockingbird
Sings the saddest kind of song
He knows things are wrong
And he's right. Yes, he's right to sing the blues in the night
From Natchez to Mobile
From Memphis to St. Joe
Wherever the four winds blow; They blow everywhere!
I been in some big towns, Yeah!
And I done heard me some big talk, Ahh,ahh
But there's one thing I know: Keep a-talkin'
A woman's a-two-faced
A worrisome thing
Who'll leave you to sing the blues... The blues
In the night. Yes, in the night
A woman will leave you singin' the blues
I know she will
My momma was right
The blues in the night
