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 the sweet talkin' is done

A woman's a two face

A worrisome thing

Who'll leave you to sing

The blues in the night

Now the rain's a fallin'

Hear the train a callin' whoo ee

My mama done told me

Hear that lonesome whistle

Blowin' cross the trestle whoo ee

My mama done told me

A whoo ee duh whoo ee

Old clickety clack's a echoin' back

The blues in the night

Evenin' breeze'll start the trees

To cryin' and the moon'll

Hide it's light

When you get the blues in

The night

But Take my word

The mockingbird'll sing

The saddest kind of song

He knows things are wrong

And he's right

From Natchez to Mobile

From Memphis to St Joe

Wherever the four winds blow

Yes I've been in the 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

From Natchez to Mobile

From Memphis to St Joe

Wherever the four winds blow

I've 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

My mama was here

My mama was right

There's blues all blues evernight
