Mose Allison Lyrics for Song: Blues In The Night
 Lyrics for Album: Hello There Universe [2004]
 
 
 
 31832>My mama done tol' me,
 
 When I was in knee pants,
 
 My mama done tol' me, Son!
 
 A woman'll sweet talk
 
 And give ya the big eye;
 
 But when the sweet talkin's done,
 
 A woman'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 (my mama done tol' me)
 
 Hear that lonesome whistle
 
 Blowin' 'cross the trestle,
 
 Whoo-ee (my mama done tol' me)
 
 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 woman'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.
