A
My mama done tol' me, when I was in kneepants,
A7
My mama done tol' me, "Son,
D7
A woman'll sweet talk, and give ya the big eye,
B7 E7 A
But when the sweet talkin's done,
E7 Am7 E7
A woman's a two-face, a worrisome thing who'll leave ya t' sing
A D9 A
The blues in the night."
Refrain:
A7 E7 Am7 D7
Now the rain's a-fallin', hear the train a-callin',
A
"Whoo-ee." (My mama done tol' me,)
D9 Dm6 E7
Hear that lonesome whistle blowin' 'cross the trestle,
A
"Whoo-ee." (My mama done tol' me.)
E7
A whoo-ee-duh whoo-ee,
B7 E7 A D9 A
Ol' clickety clack's a-echoin' back the blues in the night.
D9 Dm6
The evening breeze'll start the trees to cryin'
E7 C7 B+ F#7-5 Am6 B7 E7 Dm6 E7
And the moon'll hide it's light when you get the blues in the night;
