Blues In the Night

My momma done told me

When I was in pigtails

My momma done told me, hon

A man is a two-face

He'll give you the big eye

And when the sweet talkin's done

A man is a two-face

A worrisome thing who'll leave you to sing

The blues in the night

Now the rains a-fallin'

Hear the trains a-callin', wooee

Hear the lonesome whistle

Blowin' across the trestle, wooee

A-woo, a-wooie,

A-clickety clack, an echoin' back

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 man is a two-face

A worrisome thing who'll leave you to sing

The blues in the night

My momma done told me

My momma done told me

My momma done told me

When I was in pigtails

My momma done told me, hon

A man is a two-face

He'll give you the big eye

And when the sweet talkin's done

A man is a two-face

A worrisome thing who'll leave you to sing

The blues in the night

My momma done told me
