BLUES IN THE NIGHT
 Artie Shawn

My mama done tol' me,
 When I was in knee pants,
 My mama 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 collin'
 Whoo-ee (my mama done tol' me)
 Hear dat 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'll 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
 From Natchez to Mobile,
 From Memphis to St. Joe,
 Wherever the four winds blow,
 I been in some big towns,
 An' heard me some big talk,
 But there is one thing I know
 A woman's a two face,
 A worrisome thing
 Who'll leave ya t'sing the blues in the night
 My mama was right, there's blues in the night
