1
My mama done tol' me
2
When I was in pigtails
3
My mama done tol' me
4
A man's gonna sweet-talk and give you the big eyes
5
But when the sweet-talking's done
6
A man is a two-face, a worrisome thing
7
Who'll leave you to sing the blues in the night
8
Now the rain's a-fallin'
9
Hear the train a-callin, "whoo-ee!"
10
My mama done tol' me
11
Hear that lonesome whistle blowin' 'cross the trestle, "whoo-ee!"
12
My mama done tol' me
13
A-whooee-ah-whooee ol' clickety-clack's
14
A-echoin' back the blues in the night
15
The evenin' breeze'll start the trees to cryin'
16
And the moon'll hide it's light
17
When you get the blues in the night
18
Take my word, the mockingbird'll sing the saddest kind of song
19
He knows things are wrong, and he's right
20
From Natchez to mobile
21
From Memphis to St. Joe
22
Wherever the four winds blow
23
I been in some big towns
24
And heard me some big talk
25
But there is one thing I know
26
A man's a two-face, a worrisome thing
27
Who'll leave you to sing the blues in the night
28
The evenin' breeze'll start the trees to cryin'
29
And the moon'll hide it's light
30
When you get the blues in the night
31
Take my word, the mockingbird'll sing the saddest kind of song
32
He knows things are wrong, and he's right
33
From Natchez to mobile
34
From Memphis to St. Joe
35
Wherever the four winds blow
36
I been in some big towns
37
And heard me some big talk
38
But there is one thing I know
39
A man's a two-face, a worrisome thing
40
Who'll leave ya to sing the blues in the night
41
Yes, the lonely, lonely blues in the night
