My mama done told me

When I was in kneepants

My mama done told me son

A woman'll sweet talk

And give you the glad eye

But when the sweet talkin's done

A woman's a two face

A worrisome thing

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

Now the rain's a falling

Hear the train a calling

Whooee my mama done told me

Hear that lonesome whistle

Blowing 'cross the trestle

Whooee my mama done told me

A whooee duh whooee

Old clickety clack's a echoing

Back the blues in the night

Blues in the night
