Blues In the Night

My mamma done tol' me,

When I was in knee pants,

My mamma done tol' me, "Son!

A woman'll sweet talk, and give ya the big eye,But when the sweet talkin's done,

A woman's 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 mamma done tol' me.)

Hear that lonesome whistleBlowin 'cross the trestle, "whooee,"

(My mamma done tol' me.)

A whooee-a-whooee,

Ol' clickety clack's a-echo-in' back the blues in the night

(Hum---)

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