Blues In The Night Lyrics - Julie London

My mama done tol' me, 

when i was in pig tails 

my mama done tol' me, 

hon! a man's gonna sweet talk 

and give ya the big eye; 

but when the sweet talkin's done, 

a man is 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 mama done tol' me) 

hear that lonesome whistle 

blowin' cross the trestle, 

whoo-ee (my mama done tol' me) 

a whoo-ee-duh-whoo-ee, ol' clickety clack's 

a echoin' back th' blues in the night 

The evenin' breeze'll start the trees to cryin' 

and the moon will hide its light 

when you get the blues in the night 

take my word, the mockin' bird'll 

sing the saddest kind o' song 

he knows things are wrong and he's right 

oooooh ooooh 

From natchez to mobile, 

from memphis to st. joe, 

wherever the four winds blow, 

i been in some big towns, 

i heard me some big talk, 

but there is one thing i know 

a man is a two face, 

a worrisome thing 

who'll leave ya t'sing 

the blues in the night 

oooooh ooooh 

my mama was right, my mama was right 

there's blues in the night
