Blues in the Night

[Verse 1]
My Mama done told me
When I was in knee pants
My Mama done told me
"Son, a woman'll sweet talk
And give you the big eye
But when that sweet talkin's done
A woman's a two face
A worrisome thing who'll leave you to sing the blues in the night"

[Bridge]
Now the rain's a fallin'
Hear the train a callin', hoo-ee
(My Mama done told me)
Hear that lonesome whistle
Blowin' 'cross the trestle, hoo-ee
(My Mama done told me)
A hoo-ee-duh hoo-ee
Ol' clickety clack's a-echoin' back the blues in the night

[Verse 2]
From Natchez to Mobile
From Memphis to St. 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 you to sing the blues in the night
