My mama done tol' meWhen I was in pigtailsMy mama done tol' meA man's gonna sweet-talk and give you the big eyesBut when the sweet-talking's doneA man is a two-face, a worrisome thing Who'll leave you to sing the blues in the nightNow the rain's a-fallin'Hear the train a-callin, "whoo-ee!"My mama done tol' meHear that lonesome whistle blowin' 'cross the trestle, "whoo-ee!"My mama done tol' meA-whooee-ah-whooee ol' clickety-clack'sA-echoin' back th' blues in the nightThe evenin' breeze'll start the trees to cryin'And the moon'll hide it's lightWhen you get the blues in the nightTake my word, the mockingbird'll sing the saddest kind o' songHe knows things are wrong, and he's rightFrom Natchez to mobile,From Memphis to St. JoeWherever the four winds blowI been in some big townsSongtexteAn' heard me some big talkBut there is one thing I knowA man's a two-face, a worrisome thingWho'll leave you to sing the blues in the nightThe evenin' breeze'll start the trees to cryin'And the moon'll hide it's lightWhen you get the blues in the nightTake my word, the mockingbird'll sing the saddest kind o' songHe knows things are wrong, and he's rightFrom Natchez to mobile,From Memphis to St. JoeWherever the four winds blowI been in some big townsAn' heard me some big talkBut there is one thing I knowA man's a two-face, a worrisome thingWho'll leave ya to sing the blues in the nightYes the lonely, lonely blues in the night Aus Songtexte Mania
