My Mamma Done Tol' Me,

When I Was In Knee Pants,

My Mamma 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 Mamma Done Tol' Me.)

Hear That Lonesome Whistle

Blowin 'cross The Trestle, "whooee,"

(My Mamma Done Tol' Me.)

A Whooee-a-whooee,

Ol' Clickety Clack's A-echo-in' Back The Blues In The Night

(Hum---)

My Mamma Was Right, There's Blues In The Night
