Blues In The Night Lyrics - Cab Calloway

My mamma done tol' me, 

When I was in knee pants, 

My mamma 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 t' sing 

The blues in the night" 

Now the rain's a-fallin' 

Hear the train a-callin' "whoo-ee"! 

(My mamma done tol' me.) 

Hear that lonesome whistle 

Blowin 'cross the trestle, "whooee," 

(My mamma done tol' me.) 

A whooee-a-whooee, 

Ol' clickety clack's a-echo-in' back the blues in the night 

(Hum---) 

My mamma was right, there's blues in the night
