Blues In The Night

Got the blues
Got the blues in the night

My momma done told me
When I was in knee pants
My momma done told me, son

A woman'll sweet talk
And give you the big eye
But when the sweet talkin's done

A woman's a two face
A worrisome thing who'll leave you
To sing the blues
In the night"

Now the rains are falling
Here the train a calling (hoo-ey)

My momma done told me

Hear that lonesome whistle
Blowing cross the trestle (hoo-ey)

My momma done told me (a-hoo-ey da-hoo-ey)

Ol' clickety clack's
A-echoing back the blues
In the night

From natchez to mobile
From memphis to saint joe
Wherever the four winds blow
I been in some big towns
And I heard me some big talk
But there is one thing I know

A woman's a two face
A worrisome thing who'll leave you
To sing the blues
In the night

I can't lose
Those old blues
My momma was right
There's blues in the night
In the night
In the night
