Ann Hampton Callaway - Blues In The Night lyrics

rate me

My mama done tol' me,

When I was in pigtails

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 to sing

The 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 I've 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 to sing

The blues in the night

Now the rain's a-fallin',

Hear that train a-callin, "Whooee!"

(My mama done tol' me)

Hear dat lonesome whistle

Blowin' 'cross the trestle, "Whooee!"

(My mama done tol' me)

A-whooee-ah-whooee

Ol' clickety-clack's echoin' back

The blues in the night

The evenin' breeze'll start the trees to cryin'

And the moon'll hide her light

When you get the blues in the night

Take my word, the mockingbird

Will sing the saddest kind of song,

He knows things are wrong, and he's right

From Natchez to Mobile,

From Memphis to St. Joe,

Wherever the four winds blow

I've been in some big towns

And I've 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 to sing

The blues in the night

Ooh, ooh

My Mama was right

There's gonna be blues

There is gonna be blues

In the night<br />
