Текст песни Blues In the Night (Remastered) - Cab Calloway

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. 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.
