Benny Goodman - Blues In The Night Lyrics

My mama done tol' me
When I was in knee pants
My mama done tol' me, Son!
A man's gonna sweet talk
And give ya the big eye
But when the sweet talkin's done
A man's a two face
A worrisome 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
Hear that lonesome whistle
Blowin' 'cross the trestle
Whoo-ee
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 man's a two face
A worrisome thing
Who'll leave ya t'sing the blues in the night
My mama was right
There's blues in the night
