1
My mama done tol' me when I was in pigtails
2
My mama done tol' me
3
A man's gonna sweet-talk and give you the big eyes
4
But when that sweet-talking's done
5
A man is a two-face, a worrisome thing
6
Who'll leave you to sing the blues in the night
7
Now the rain's a-fallin', hear the train a-callin, whoo-ee
8
My mama done tol' me
9
Hear that lonesome whistle blowin' 'cross the trestle, whoo-ee
10
My mama done tol' me
11
A-whooee-ah-whooee ol' clickety-clack's
12
A-echoin' back th' blues in the night
13
The evenin' breeze'll start the trees to cryin'
14
And the moon'll hide it's light
15
When you get the blues in the night
16
Take my word, the mockingbird'll sing the saddest kind o' song
17
He knows things are wrong, and he's right
18
From Natchez to Mobile, from Memphis to St. Joe
19
Wherever the four winds blow
20
I've been in some big towns, heard me some big talk
21
But there is one thing I know
22
That a man's a two-face, a worrisome thing
23
Who'll leave you to sing the blues in the night
24
My Mama then told me
25
A man is a two-face, a worrisome thing
26
Who'll leave you to sing the blues
