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 to sing the blues in the night Now the rain's a-fallin' hear the train's a-callin   "Whooee!" (My mama done tol' me) Hear dat lonesome whistle blowin' 'cross the trestle "Whooee!" (My mama done tol' me) A-whooee-ah-whooee 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 mockingbird'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        To sing the blues in the night         My mama was right there's blues in the night   A man is a two face a worrisome thing who'll leave ya     To sing the blues in the night         My mama was right there's blues in the night
