| [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. |
