Cab Calloway - Blues In The Night 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 woman's a two-faced
A worrisome thing
Who'll leave you to sing the blues...The blues...
In the night."Yes, in the night.
Now the rain's a-fallin',
Hear the train a-callin' -Oohee...
My momma done tol' me.Oh...
Hey, that lonesome whistle's
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 its lightCab Calloway - Blues In The Night - http://motolyrics.com/cab-calloway/blues-in-the-night-lyrics.html
When you get the blues
In the night.It's 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 woman's a-two-faced -
A worrisome thing
Who'll 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.
