| | | Artist: | Cab Calloway |
| | Album: | unknow | | Track: | Blues In The Night | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 388 | | | | 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-talk Yeah!
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 light
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. | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
