Blues In The Night (my Mama Done Told Me) Lyrics - Shirley Bassey

My mama don' told me, 

When I was in pig tails, 

My mama don' told me, Hon, 

A man's gonna sweet talk 

And give you the big eye. 

But when the sweet talk is done, 

A man is a two face 

A worrisome thing 

Who'll leave you to sing, 

The blues in the night

Now the rains are fallin' 

Hear the trains are calling 

Whoo-ee, my mama done told me 

Hear that lonesome whistle 

Blowing 'cross the trestle, 

Whoo-ee, my mama done told me 

A whoo-ee-duh-whoo-ee, 

A clickety clack, 

So echoing back 

The blues in the night 

The evening breeze will start the trees to cryin' 

And the moon will hide it's light 

When you get the blues in the night 

Take my word, the mockin bird 

Will sing the saddest kind of a 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've been in some big towns, 

An' heard me some big talk, 

But there is one thing I know: 

A man is a two face 

A worrisome thing 

He'll leave you to sing 

The blues in the night 

My Mama was right 

There's a blues in the night
