My mama done tol' me

When I was in pigtails

My mama done tol' me

A man's gonna sweet-talk and give you the big eyes

But when the sweet-talking's done

A man is a two-face, a worrisome thing

Who'll leave you to 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-whooee-ah-whooee ol' clickety-clack's

A-echoin' back th' blues in the night

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 man's a two-face, a worrisome thing

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