Blues In The Night
(专辑: Frank Sinatra Sings For Only The Lonely - 1958)
My mama done tol' me, when I
was in knee-pants My mama 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 to sing the
blues in the
night Now the
rain's a-falling, hear the
train's a-callin, "Whooee!" (My mama done tol' me) Hear dat lonesome whistle blowing 'cross the
trestle, "Whooee!" (My mama done tol' me) A-whooee-ah-whooee ol' clickety-clack's a-echoing back th' blues in the
night The
evening breeze'll start the
trees to crying And the
moon'll hide its light when you get the
blues in the
night Take my word, the
mockingbird'll sing the
saddest kind o' 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
woman's a
two-face, a
worrisome thing who'll leave ya to sing the
blues in the
night My mama was right, there's blues in the
night.
