Brook Benton - Blues in the Night Lyrics

Lyrics Blues in the Night - Brook Benton



My mama done tol' me, when I was in knee-pants
My mama done tol' me, "Son, a woman'll sweet talk"
And give ya the big eye, but when the sweet talkin's done
A woman's a two-face, a worrisome thing who'll leave
Ya to sing the blues in the night
Now the rain's a-fallin', hear the train a-callin, "Whooee!"
(My mama done tol' me) Hear that lonesome whistle blowin'
'Cross the trestle, "Whooee!"
(My mama done tol' me) A-whooee-dah-whooee o' clickety-clack's
A-echoin' back the blues in the night
The evenin' breeze will start the trees to cryin' and
The moon will hide its light when you get the blues in the night
And take my word, that mockingbird'll sing the saddest
Kind of song, he knows things are wrong, and he's so right
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
Ya to sing the blues in the night
My mama was right, there's blues in the night.
