Woody Herman - Blues In The Night lyrics

rate me

My Mama done told me<br />

When I was in knee pants<br />

My Mama done told me<br />

"Son, a woman'll sweet talk<br />

And give you the big eye<br />

But when the sweet talkin's done"<br />

<br />

A woman's a two face<br />

A worrisome thing who'll leave you to sing the blues<br />

In the night<br />

<br />

Now the rain's a fallin'<br />

Hear the train a callin'<br />

Whoo-ee<br />

(My Mama done told me)<br />

Hear that lonesome whistle<br />

Blowin' 'cross the trestle<br />

Whoo-ee<br />

(My Mama done told me)<br />

<br />

A whoo-ee-duh whoo-ee<br />

Ol' clickety clack's a echoin' back the blues<br />

In the night<br />

<br />

From Natchez to Mobile<br />

From Memphis to St. Joe<br />

Wherever the four winds blow<br />

Yeah I've been in some big towns<br />

And heard me some big talk<br />

But there is one thing I know<br />

<br />

A woman's a two face<br />

A worrisome thing who'll leave you to sing the blues<br />

In the night
