Blues In The Night - Jimmy Witherspoon

作词：Harold Arlen/Johnny Mercer

作曲：Harold Arlen/Johnny Mercer

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 worry some thing

Who'll leave ya t'sing

The blues in the night

Now the rain's a-fallin'

Hear the train a-callin'

Whoo-ee my mama done tol' me

Hear that lone some 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 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 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 some thing

Who'll leave ya sing the blues in the night

The blues in the night

Blues in the night
