Lyrics
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}
