Judy Garland - Blues in the Night lyrics

My mommy done tol' me, when I was in pigtails

My mommy done tol' me, "Hon, a man's gonna sweet talk

And give ya the big eye, but when the sweet talkin's done

A man is 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 mommy done tol' me

Hear dat lonesome whistle

Blowin' 'cross the trestle

"Whooee!"

My mommy done tol' me

A-whooee-ah-whooee ol' clickety-clack's a echoin' back

The blues in the night

The evenin' breeze'll start the trees to cryin'

And the moon'll hide it's light

When you get the blues in the night

Take my word

The mockingbird'll sing the saddest kind of 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 man is a two-face, a worrisome thing

Who'll leave ya to sing the blues in the night

My mommy was right

There's blues in the night
