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 |
