Artie Shaw - Blues In The Night lyrics
rate meBLUES IN THE NIGHT<br />
Artie Shawn<br />
<br />
My mama done tol' me,<br />
When I was in knee pants,<br />
My mama done tol' me,<br />
Son! A woman'll sweet talk<br />
And give ya the big eye;<br />
But when the sweet talkin's done,<br />
A woman's a two face<br />
A worrisome thing<br />
Who'll leave ya t'sing<br />
The blues in the night<br />
<br />
Now the rain's a fallin',<br />
Hear the train a collin'<br />
Whoo-ee (my mama done tol' me)<br />
Hear dat lonesome whistle<br />
Blowin' cross the trestle,<br />
Whoo-ee (my mama done tol' me)<br />
A whoo-ee-duh-whoo-ee, ol' clickety clack's<br />
A echoin' back th' blues in the night<br />
<br />
The evenin' breeze'll start the trees to cryin'<br />
And the moon'll hide it's light<br />
When you get the blues in the night<br />
<br />
Take my word, the mockin' bird'll<br />
Sing the saddest kind o' song<br />
He knows things are wrong and he's right<br />
From Natchez to Mobile,<br />
From Memphis to St. Joe,<br />
Wherever the four winds blow,<br />
I been in some big towns,<br />
An' heard me some big talk,<br />
But there is one thing I know<br />
A woman's a two face,<br />
A worrisome thing<br />
Who'll leave ya t'sing the blues in the night<br />
My mama was right, there's blues in the night
