Blues in the Night (My Mama Done Tol' Me)
guitar chords lyrics
My momma done tol me
When I was in knee-pants
My momma done tol me, Son, What did she tell you?
A woman gon sweet-talkYeah!
And give you de glad-eyes, Ah, ahh.
But when that sweet-talk is done: Keep on a- talkin.
A womans a two-faced
A worrisome thing
Wholl leave you to sing the blues... The blues...
In the night.Yes, in the night.
Now the rains a-fallin,
Hear the train a-callin -Oohee...
My momma done tol me.Oh...
Hey, that lonesome whistles
Blowin cross the trestle.Oohee...
My momma done tol me.Oh...
Hey, that lonesome whistles
Blowin cross the trestle.Oohee...
My momma done tol me.Hey, ahooee - ahooee!
A clickety-clackin
And echoin back at the blues...
In the night.
The evenin breeze - The stars -
The trees a-cryin and the moon
Ll hide it's light
When you get the blues
In the night.Its really tough to get the blues in the night.
Take my word:
The mockingbird
Sings the saddest kind of song;
He knows things are wrong -
And he's right.Yes, he's right to sing the blues in the night.
From Natchez to Mobile;
From Memphis to St. Joe;
Wherever the four winds blow; They blow everywhere!
I been in some big towns, Yeah!
And I done heard me some big talk, Ahh, ahh...
But there's one thing I know: Keep a-talkin.
A womans a-two-faced -
A worrisome thing
Wholl leave you to sing the blues... The blues
In the night.Yes, in the night.
A woman will leave you singin the blues.
I know she will -
My momma was right:
The blues in the night.
