My ma-ma done tol’ me,
-6 -7 -7* -6 -7 -7*
when I was in knee-pants
-6 -7 -7* -6 -7 -7* -5
My ma-ma done tol’ me, “Son,
-3*-6 -5* -3* -6 -5*
a wom-an-‘ll sweet talk”
-3* -6 -5* -3* -6 -5*
And give ya the big eye,
-7* 7* 7 -6 7 5* -5
but when the sweet talk-in’s done
-6 -8 8 -6 -8 8
A wom-an’s a two-face,
-6 8* 8 8* -7* -7* 7* 7 7* -6
a wor-ri-some thing who’ll leave ya t’ sing
-6 -7* 7 -6 -3*
the blues in the night
-9 -10 -9 -7* 7 -6
Now the rain’s a-fall-in’,
8* -10 8* -7* 7 -6 8* -9
hear the train a-call-in, “Whoo-ee!”
-6 -7 -7* -6 -7 -7*
(My ma-ma done tol’ me)
8* -10 8* -7* 7 -6
Hear dat lone-some whis-tle
-9* -10 -9* 9* -7* -6* 8* -9
Blow-in’ ‘cross the tres-tle, “Whoo-ee!”
-6 -7 -7* -6 -7 -7*
(My ma-ma done tol’ me)
-6 10 -10 -6 10 -10
A-whoo-ee-duh-whoo-ee
-6 8* 8 8* -7* -7* 7* 7 7* -6
ol’ click-e-ty-clack’s a-ech-o-in’ back
-6 -7 7 -6 -3*
th’ blues in the night
-6 7 -7* 8 -7* 8
The eve-nin’ breeze-‘ll start
-7* -9* 9* -9* 9*
the trees to cry-in’
-9* -10 -7* 7* -7* 7* 9*
and the moon-‘ll hide it’s light
7* 7 7* 7 8 -7* 8 8
when you get the blues in the night
8 -7* 8 -7* -9* 9* -9* 7*
Take my word, the mock-in’-bird-‘ll
-9* -10 -7* 7* -7* 7* 9*
sing the sad-dest kind o’ song,
7* 7 7* 7 8 -7* 8 -9
he knows things are wrong, and he’s right
|~~-6-7*|7*..7*7-9*|9*…
-6 -7 -7* -6 -7 -7*
From Nat-chez to Mo-bile,
-6 -7 -7* -6 -7 -7*
from Mem-phis to St. Joe,
-6 -7 -7* -6 -7 -7* -5
wher-ev-er the four winds blow
-3* -6 -5* -3* -6 -5*
I been in some big towns
-3* -6 -5* -3* -6 -5*
An’ heard me some big talk,
-7* 7* 7 -6 7 5* -5
but there is one thing I know
-6 -8 8 -6 -8 8
A wom-an’s a two-face,
-6 8* 8 8* -7* -7* 7* 7 7* -6
a wor-ri-some thing who’ll leave ya t’ sing
-6 -7* 7 -6 -3*
the blues in the night
-6 8* 8 8* -7*
My ma-ma was right,
-7* -6-7* 7 -6 -3*
there’s blues in the night.
