My momma don't told me When I was in pigtails My momma don't told me, hon A man's gonna sweet talk And he will give you the big eye But when that sweet talking's done A man is a two-faced, a worrisome thing Who'll leave you to sing the blues in the night Now the rain's are fallin' I hear the trains are callin', hooey My momma don't told me Hear that lonesome whistle A blowing across the trestle, hoo hooey My momma don't told me, a hooey, a hooey Old clickety clack is echoing back the blues in the night The evenin' breeze will start the trees to cryin' And the moon will hot its light When you get the blues in the night Oh, take my word the Mockingbird Who'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've been to some big towns I've heard me some big talk But there is one thing I know A man is a two faced, a worrisome thing Who'll leave you to sing the blues in the night My momma don't told me there's blues in the night
