Blues In the Night (Remastered)
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-talk Yeah!
And give you de glad-eyes, Ah, ahh.
But when that sweet-talk is done: Keep on a- talkin'.
A woman's a two-faced
A worrisome thing
Who'll leave you to sing the blues... The blues...
In the night." Yes, in the night.
Now the rain's a-fallin',
Hear the train a-callin' - Oohee...
My momma done tol' me. Oh...
Hey, that lonesome whistle's
Blowin' ‘cross the trestle. Oohee...
My momma done tol' me. Oh...
Hey, that lonesome whistle's
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 its light
When you get the blues
In the night. It's 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 woman's a-two-faced -
A worrisome thing
Who'll 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.
