Woody Herman & His Orchestra - Blues in the Night lyrics

Blues in the night Woody Herman - words by Johnny Mercer, music by Harold Arlen - written for a film called "Hot Nocturne", this song became So popular that the movie was re-titled "Blues in the Night" My mama done tol' me When I was in kneepants 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 t' sing the blues in the night Now the rain's a-fallin' Hear the train a-callin' Whoo-ee (My mama done tol' me) Hear that lonesome whistle Blowin' 'cross the trestle Whoo-ee (My mama done tol' me) A whoo-ee-duh whoo-ee Ol' clickety clack's a-echoin' back the blues in the night (Hum) My mama was right, there's blues in the night ----------------------------------------------------------------
