My mama done tol' me, when I was in pigtails My
mama done tol' me, " Hon, a man's gonna sweet
talk" And give ya the big eye, but when the
sweet talkin's done A man is 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 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'

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 an' heard me some big talk, but there is one
thing I know A man is a two-face, a worrisome
thing who'll leave ya to sing the blues in the
night

My mama was right, there's blues in the night
