Blues in the Night
Echoes of Two-Faced Desires: Blues in the Night Unveiled
Lyrics
My mamma done told me
A mother advised me
When I was in pigtails
When I was young
My mamma done told me, hon
A mother advised me, dear
A man is a two-face
A man can be deceptive
He'll give you the big eye
He'll show interest
And when the sweet talking's done
But once the charming words stop
A man is a two-face
A man can be deceptive
A worrisome thing who'll leave you to sing
Concerning, leaving you troubled, making you sing
The blues in the night
About feeling sorrowful in the night
Now the rains a-fallin'
Now the rain is falling
Hear the trains a-callin', hooee
Hearing the trains calling out
Hear that lonesome whistle
Hearing that lonely sound of the whistle
Blowin' across the trestle, hooee
Blowing through the trestle
Ah-hooee, clickety-clack
A sound effect with train movement
And echoing back
Reverberating and returning
Blues in the night
Feeling melancholic in the night
From Natchez to Mobile
From various places
From Memphis to St. Joe
Wherever one may go
Wherever the four winds blow
Traveling with the wind
I've been in some big towns
I've been to significant cities
And heard me some big talk
And heard considerable boasting
But there is one thing I know
But there's one certainty I know
A man is a two-face
A man can be deceptive
A worrisome thing who'll leave you to sing
Concerning, leaving you troubled, making you sing
The blues in the night
About feeling sorrowful in the night
My mamma done told me
A mother advised me
My mamma done told me
-My mamma done told me
-When I was in pig tails
When I was young
My mamma done told me, hon
A mother advised me, dear
A man is a two-face
A man can be deceptive
He'll give you the big eye
He'll show interest
And when the sweet talking's done
But once the charming words stop
A man is a two-face
A man can be deceptive
A worrisome thing who'll leave you to sing
Concerning, leaving you troubled, making you sing
The blues in the night
About feeling sorrowful in the night
My mamma done told me
A mother advised me
