cab calloway - blues in the night (my mama done tol' me) lyrics
my momma done tol me
when i was in knee-pants
my momma done tol me, son,what did she tell you?
a woman gon sweet-talkyeah!
and give you de glad-eyes,ah, ahh..
but when that sweet-talk is done:keep on a- talkin.
a womans a two-faced
a worrisome thing
wholl leave you to sing the blues…the blues…
in the night.yes, in the night.
now the rains a-fallin,
hear the train a-callin -oohee…
my momma done tol me.oh…
hey, that lonesome whistles
blowin cross the trestle.oohee…
my momma done tol me.hey, ahooee – ahooee!
a clickety-clackin
and echoin back at the blues…
in the night.
the evenin breeze – the stars –
the trees a-cryin and the moon
ll hide it’s light
when you get the blues
in the night.its really tough to get the blues in the night.
take my word:
the mockingbird
sings the saddest kind of song;
he knows things are wrong –
and he’s right.yes, he’s right to sing the blues in the night.
from natchez to mobile;
from memphis to st. joe;
wherever the four winds blow;they blow everywhere!
i been in some big towns,yeah!
and i done heard me some big talk,ahh,ahh…
but there’s one thing i know:keep a-talkin.
a womans a-two-faced –
a worrisome thing
wholl leave you to sing the blues…the blues
in the night.yes, in the night.
a woman will leave you singin the blues.
i know she will –
my momma was right:
the blues in the night.
