Blues In The Night (My Mama Done Tol' Me)
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 to sing the blues in the night
Now the rain's a-fallin', hear the train's a-callin,
"Whooee!"
(My mama done tol' me) Hear dat lonesome whistle blowin' 'cross the trestle, "Whooee!"
(My
mama done tol' me) A-whooee-ah-whooee ol' clickety-clack's a-echoin' back th' 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 mockingbird'll sing the saddest kind o' song, he knows things are wrong,
and he's right
From Natchez to Mobile, from Memphis to St. Joe, 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 to sing the blues in the night
My mama was right, there's blues in
Up Jumps Da Boogie (Remix)
Like every woman wants to they'll be a wife
Success is measured, but to a degree
All the money in the world don't add up to you and me.
I'd rather be picking up bottles and cans if you can't be my man
I'd rather be homeless in the streets with no food to eat
I'd rather be facing 20 to life if I can't be your wife.
Now I know that it seems like I'm crazy for you
but that's what love can do.
Look at what you started there's no way this can end
Falling in love how deep I fall in
If anything should ever stand in
