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 big eye but when the sweet talkin's done

A woman's a two-face A worrisome thing

who'll leave you singing the blues

in the night

Now the rain's a-falling hear the train's a-callin Whooee

Hear that lonesome whistle blowing 'cross the trestle Whooee

A-whooee-ah-whooee ol' clickety-clack's a-echoin' back the blues

in the night

The evenin' breeze'll start the trees to crying

and the moon'll hide its light when you get the blues

in the night

so take my word the mockingbird'll sing the saddest kind o' song

he knows things he knows things are wrong

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 you singing the blues

in the night

there's blues in the night
