Blues in the Night

Got the blues

Got the blues in the night

My momma done told me

When I was in knee pants

My momma done told me, "Son,

A woman'll sweet talk

And give you the big eye

But when the sweet talkin's done

A woman's a two face

A worrisome thing who'll leave you

To sing the blues

In the night"

Now the rains are falling

Here the train a calling

(hoo-ey)

My momma done told me

Hear that lonesome whistle

Blowing cross the trestle

(hoo-ey)

My momma done told me

(a-hoo-ey da-hoo-ey)

Ol' clickety clack's

A-echoing back the blues

In the night

From Natchez to Mobile

From Memphis to Saint Joe

Wherever the four winds blow

I been in some big towns

And I heard me some big talk

But there is one thing I know

A woman's a two face

A worrisome thing who'll leave you

To sing the blues

In the night

I can't lose

Those old blues

My momma was right

There's blues in the night

In the night

In the night
