Blues in the Night - Mel Tormé
My mama done tol' me
When I was in knee pants
My mama done tol' me Son
A woman'll sweet talk
And give you the gland eye
But when the sweet talkin's done
A woman's a two face
A worry some thing
Who'll leave you t'sing
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 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 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 Jo
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 worry something
Who'll leave you t'sing blues in the night
My mama was right
There's blues in the night
