Eva Cassidy - Blues in the Night lyrics

rate me

My mama done told me,

When I was in pig tails,

My mama done told me,

So! Mmmmm The man's gonna sweet talk

Give you the big eye;

But when the sweet talkin's done,

A man is a two face

A worrisome thing

Who'll leave you singin',

The blues in the night

Now you know that rain is fallin'

Hear that train calling

Whoo-ee (my mama done told me)

Yeah Yeah ah (oooo that lonesome whistle

calling cross the trestle),

Whoo-ee (my mama done told me)

A whoo-ee-duh-whoo-ee, clickety clacks

Echoin back the blues in the night

The evening breeze will start the trees to cryin'

And the Moonlight hides his light

When you get the blues in the night

Whoa

Take my word, the mockin bird will

Sing his saddest, saddest kinda song

He knows things are wrong and he's right

From Natchez to Mobile,

From Memphis to St. Joe,

Wherever the four winds blow,

Yeah I've been to the big towns,

An I heard me some big talk to,

Mmm But when the big talkin's done,

A man is a two face,

A worrisome thing

Who'll leave you singin' AAWWW the blues in the night

{SCAT TILL END}
