Blues In The Night Lyrics - Oscar Peterson

My mama done tol' me 

When I was in pigtails 

My mama done tol' me 

A man's gonna sweet-talk and give you the big eyes 

But when the sweet-talking's done 

A man is a two-face, a worrisome thing 

Who'll leave you to 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-whooee-ah-whooee ol' clickety-clack's 

A-echoin' back the blues in the night

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

And the moon'll hide it's light 

When you get the blues in the night 

Take my word, the mockingbird'll sing the saddest kind of song 

He knows things are wrong, and he's right 

From Natchez to mobile 

From Memphis to St. Joe 

Wherever the four winds blow 

I been in some big towns 

And heard me some big talk 

But there is one thing I know 

A man's a two-face, a worrisome thing 

Who'll leave you to sing the blues in the night 

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

And the moon'll hide it's light 

When you get the blues in the night 

Take my word, the mockingbird'll sing the saddest kind of song 

He knows things are wrong, and he's right

I been in some big towns 

And heard me some big talk 

But there is one thing I know 

A man's a two-face, a worrisome thing 

Who'll leave ya to sing the blues in the night 

Yes, the lonely, lonely blues in the night
