My mama done tol me, when I was in pig tails
My mama done tol me, hone
A man is a two-face, he'll give you the big eye
And when the sweet talkings done
A man is a two-face, a worrisome thing who'll leave ya to sing
The blues in the night

Now the rains a-fallin, hear the trains a-callin,
"whooee!"
Hear that lonesome whistle blowin across
the trestle, "whooee!"
a-whooee-ah-whooee, clickety-clack
an-echoin back
Blues in the night

From Natchez to mobile, from Memphis to St. Joe, wherever the
four winds blow
I've been in some big towns and heard me some big talk, but there
is one thing I know
A man is a two-face, a worrisome thing who'll leave ya to sing
The blues in the night

Instrumental

My mama done tol me, when I was in pig tails
My mama done tol me, hone
A man is a two-face, he'll give you the big eye
And when the sweet talkings done
A man is a two-face, a worrisome thing who'll leave ya to sing
The blues in the night

My mama done tol me
