Blues In The Night

A
My mama done tol' me, when I was in 
kneepants,

                        A7
My mama done tol' me, "Son,

    D7
A woman'll sweet talk, and give ya 
the big eye,

     B7       E7             A
But when the sweet talkin's done,

     E7                Am7        
A woman's a two-face, a worrisome 
              E7
thing who'll leave ya t' sing

      A    D9           A
The blues      in the night."
A7                         E7    
Now the rain's a-fallin', hear 
   Am7    D7
the train a-callin',

  A
"Whoo-ee." (My mama done tol' me,)

   D9                      Dm6    
Hear that lonesome whistle blowin'
             E7
 'cross the trestle,

  A
"Whoo-ee." (My mama done tol' me.)

   E7
A whoo-ee-duh whoo-ee,

     B7                  E7       
Ol' clickety clack's a-echoin' 
         A   D9        A
back  the blues   in the night.

            D9                  
The evening breeze'll start the 
Dm6
trees to cryin'

E7       C7                B+   
And the moon'll hide it's light 
    F#7/5-    Am6   B7  E7       
when you get the blues in the 
Dm6  E7
night;

  D9                      Dm6  
Take my word, the mockingbird'll 
   E7       C7               B+
sing the saddest kind of song,

  F#m7/5-            Am6           
He knows things are wrong, and he's
B7        E7       Dm6    Gm6   
 right.
   E7


From Natchez to Mobile, from Memphis
 to Saint Joe,
Wherever the four winds blow;
I've been in some big towns and 
heard me some big talk,
But there is one thing I know:
A woman's a two-face, a worrisome 
thing who'll leave ya t' sing
The blues in the night.

Refrain:

Coda:
 A                   A7     B7   
 Oooo  -  oooo   -  oooo, oooo  -
             E7
  oooo   -  oooo,

     B7                    E7sus4 
 My mama was right, there's blues 
        A
in the night.
