Blues In The Night

[00:00.29] My mama done tol′ me, when I was in knee-pants

[00:06.21] My mama done tol' me, "Son a woman′ll sweet talk"

[00:15.79] And give you the big eye, but when the sweet talkin's done

[00:23.68] A woman's a two-face, A worrisome thing who′ll leave you singing the blues in the night

[00:38.61] Now the rain′s a-fallin', hear the train′s a-callin, "Whooee!"

[00:50.15] (My mama done tol' me) Hear that lonesome whistle blowin′ 'cross the trestle, "Whooee!"

[01:03.95] (My mama done tol′ me) A-whooee-ah-whooee ol' clickety-clack's a-echoin′ back the blues in the night

[01:20.58] The evenin′ breeze'll start the trees to cryin′ and the moon'll hide its light when you get the blues in the night

[01:45.94] Boy, take my word, the mockingbird′ll sing the saddest kind o' song, he knows things are wrong, and he′s right

[02:15.23] From Natchez to Mobile,

[02:28.18] From Memphis to St. Joe,

[02:31.84] Wherever the four winds blow

[02:37.76] I been in some big towns an' heard me some big talk,

[02:46.77] But there is one thing I know

[02:51.55] A woman's a two-face,

[02:56.62] A worrisome thing who′ll leave you singing the blues in the night

[03:05.92] From Natchez to Mobile,

[04:11.27] From Memphis to St. Joe,

[04:15.21] Wherever the four winds blow

[04:19.71] I been in some big towns an' heard me some big talk,

[04:28.17] But there is one thing I know

[04:33.80] A woman's a two-face,

[04:38.31] A worrisome thing who′ll leave you singing the blues in the night

[04:47.60] My mama was right, there′s blues in the night.
