My mama done tol' me, when I was in pigtails, my mama done tol' me, 'Hon,  
    D7                                                                          B7       E7             A    
A man's gonna sweet talk, and give ya the big eye, but when the sweet talkin's done,  
     E7                Am7                      E7                                                  A    D9           A  
A man is a two-face, a worrisome thing who'll leave ya to sing the blues  in the night.'  

Bridge 1:
  
A7                         E7       Am7    D7                    A  
Now the rain's a-fallin', hear the train a-callin', 'Whoo-ee. My mama done tol' me.'  
   D9                      Dm6                 E7  
Hear that lonesome whistle blowin' 'cross the trestle,  
  A                                                              E7  
'Whoo-ee. My mama done tol' me. A whoo-ee-duh whoo-ee,'  
     B7                  E7                A   D9        A  
Ol' clickety clack's a-echoin' back  the blues in the night.  

Bridge 2: 
            D9                  Dm6  
The evening breeze'll start the trees to cryin'  
E7       C7                B+       F#m5-/7    Am6   B7  E7       Dm6  E7  
And the moon'll hide it's light when you get the blues in the night;  
  D9                      Dm6     E7       C7               B+  
Take my word, the mockingbird'll sing the saddest kind of song,  
  F#m5-/7            Am6           B7        E7       Dm6    Gm6      E7  
He knows things are wrong, and he's right.  


A                                                                                                      A7  
From Natchez to Mobile, from Memphis to Saint Joe, wherever the four winds blow;  
    D7                                                                          B7       E7             A    
I've been in some big towns and heard me some big talk, but there is one thing I know:  
     E7                Am7                      E7                                                  A    D9           A  
A man is a two-face, a worrisome thing who'll leave ya to sing the blues in the night.  

Coda:  
 A                   A7     B7                E7  
 Oooo  -  oooo   -  oooo, oooo  -  oooo   -  oooo,  
        B7                          E7sus4                 A  
 My mama was right, there's blues in the night.
