Peggy Lee - Blues in the night lyrics

My mama done told me when I was in pigtails
My mama done told me so
A man's gonna sweet talk
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
Singing the blues in the night
Now you know the rain is fallin'
Hear that train a callin': "whooee"
My mama done told me
Oh that lonesome whistle
Blowing cross the trestle
My mama done told me
A "whooee" is a "whooee"
Clicket clacks echoin' back
The blues in the night
The evening breeze will start
The trees to cryin'
And the moonlight hides it's light
When you get the blues in the night
Oh take my word the mockingbird will sing
His saddest 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
Yeah I've been to the big towns
And I heard me some big talk too
But when the big talk is done
A man is a two-face
A worrisome thing leave you
Singing oh the blues in the night
