Blues In The Night (My Mama Done Tol´ Me) |
| Blues in the night |
| Woody Herman |
| — words by Johnny Mercer, music by Harold Arlen |
| — written for a film called «Hot Nocturne», this song became |
| So popular that the movie was re-titled «Blues in the Night» |
| My mama done tol' me |
| When I was in kneepants |
| 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 (Hum) |
| My mama was right, there’s blues in the night |
