Blues In The Night(Harold Arlen / Johnny Mercer)My mama done tol' me When I was in knee pants My mama done told me, son A woman will sweet talk And give you the big eye But when that sweet talk is done A woman's a two-face A woman's something that would leave to sing the blues in the night Now the rain is falling Hear the train a-calling Doo-wee Hear the lonesome whistle Blowing across the trestle Doo-wee Doo-wee-da-doo-dee A crickety crack go echoing back the blues in the night Evening breeze will start Trees to crying in the Oh, and the moon will hide its light When you get the blues in the night So take my word Or the mocking bird Will sing a sadder kind of song Maybe he knows things He knows things can go wrong From Natchez to Mobile From Memphis to Saint Joe Wherever the four winds blow I've been to some big towns Had me some big talk But there is one thing I know A woman's a two-face A worrisome thing that'll leave you to sing the blues in the night |
