Blues In The Night - Remastered 2002

My mama done tol' me,
 when i was in pig tails
 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 t'sing
 the blues in the night
 Now the rain's a fallin',
 hear the train a callin'
 whoo-ee (my mama done tol' me)
 hear that lonesome whistle
 blowin' cross the trestle,
 whoo-ee (my mama done tol' me)
 a whoo-ee-duh-whoo-ee, ol' clickety clack's
 a echoin' back th' blues in the night
 The evenin' breeze'll start the trees to cryin'
 and the moon will hide its light
 when you get the blues in the night
 take my word, the mockin' bird'll
 sing the saddest kind o' song
 he knows things are wrong and he's right
 oooooh ooooh
 From natchez to mobile,
 from memphis to st. joe,
 wherever the four winds blow,
 i been in some big towns,
 i 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 t'sing
 the blues in the night
 oooooh ooooh
 my mama was right, my mama was right
 there's blues in the night
