Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My mama done told me
When I was in knee pants
My mama done told me, son
A woman'll sweet talk
And give you the big eyes
But when that sweet talkin's done
A woman's a two-face
A worrisome thing who'll leave you to sing
The blues in the night
[Verse 2]
Now that rain's a-fallin'
Every train a-callin' hoo-wee
My mama done told me
Hear that lonesome whistle
Blowin' 'cross the trestle, hoo-wee
My mama done told me
A hoo-we-da-hoo-we or clickety-clack's
A-echoin' back the blues in the night
[Verse 3]
From Natchez to Mobile
From Memphis to St. George
Wherever the fall 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-faced
A worrisome thing who'll leave you to sing
The blues in the night
Written by: Harold Arlen, Johnny Mercer
