| [01:40.10] | My mama done tol' me, |
| [01:41.16] | When I was in knee pants, |
| [01:42.72] | My mama done tol' me, Son! |
| [01:46.04] | A woman'll sweet talk |
| [01:51.29] | And give ya the big eye; |
| [01:55.22] | But when the sweet talkin's done, |
| [02:00.41] | A woman's a two face |
| [02:02.97] | A worrisome thing |
| [02:03.85] | Who'll leave ya t'sing |
| [02:05.16] | The blues in the night |
| [02:23.03] | |
| [03:24.77] | Now the rain's a-fallin', |
| [03:27.28] | Hear the train a-callin' |
| [03:32.15] | Whoo-ee my mama done tol' me |
| [03:35.15] | Hear that lonesome whistle |
| [03:38.90] | Blowin' 'cross the trestle, |
| [03:45.85] | Whoo-ee my mama done tol' me |
| [03:50.76] | A whoo-ee-duh-whoo-ee, ol' clickety clack's |
| [03:55.64] | A-echoin' back the blues in the night |
| [04:11.75] | |
| [04:28.46] | The evenin' breeze'll start the trees to cryin' |
| [04:30.51] | And the moon'll hide its light |
| [04:31.95] | When you get the blues in the night |
| [04:44.15] | Take my word, the mockin' bird'll |
| [04:49.84] | Sing the saddest kind o' song |
| [04:56.72] | He knows things are wrong and he's right |
| [05:01.00] | |
| [07:34.99] | From Natchez to Mobile, |
| [07:37.80] | From Memphis to St. Jo, |
| [07:40.55] | Wherever the four winds blow, |
| [07:51.07] | I been in some big towns, |
| [07:52.38] | An' heard me some big talk, |
| [07:54.25] | But there is one thing I know |
| [07:57.46] | A woman's a two face, |
| [07:59.02] | A worrisome thing |
| [08:00.52] | Who'll leave ya t'sing the blues in the night. |
| [08:03.15] | My mama was right, |
| [08:05.71] | There's blues in the night. |
