Julie London - Blues in the Night lyrics
[Julie London - Blues in the Night lyrics]
My mama done told me when I was in pigtails
My mama done told me
"Hon! A man's gonna sweet talk
And give you the big eye
But when that sweet talking's done
A man is a two-face, a worrisome thing
Who'll leave ya to sing the
Blues in the night
Now the rain's a-fallin'
Hear the train a-callin' hoo-ee
Hear that lonesome whistle blowin'
Cross the trestle hoo-ee
A whoo-ee-duh-whoo-ee
Old clickety clacks are echoin' back
The blues in the night
The evenin' breeze'll 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 mockingbird will sing the
Saddest kind of song
He knows things are wrong and he's right
Oooh
From Natchez to Mobile
From Memphis to St joe
Wherever the four winds blow
I've been in some big towns
I heard me some big talk
But there is one thing I know
A man is a two-face, a worrisome thing
Who'll leave you to sing the
Blues in the night
Oooh my mama was right
My mama was right
There's blues in the night
My mama done told me
"Hon! A man's gonna sweet talk
And give you the big eye
But when that sweet talking's done
A man is a two-face, a worrisome thing
Who'll leave ya to sing the
Blues in the night
Now the rain's a-fallin'
Hear the train a-callin' hoo-ee
Hear that lonesome whistle blowin'
Cross the trestle hoo-ee
A whoo-ee-duh-whoo-ee
Old clickety clacks are echoin' back
The blues in the night
The evenin' breeze'll 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 mockingbird will sing the
Saddest kind of song
He knows things are wrong and he's right
Oooh
From Natchez to Mobile
From Memphis to St joe
Wherever the four winds blow
I've been in some big towns
I heard me some big talk
But there is one thing I know
A man is a two-face, a worrisome thing
Who'll leave you to sing the
Blues in the night
Oooh my mama was right
My mama was right
There's blues in the night
