Текст песни: Blues in the Night + перевод

My momma done tol' me

When I was in knee-pants

My momma done tol' me, «Son, What did she tell you?

A woman gon' sweet-talk Yeah!

And give you de glad-eyes, Ah, ahh.

But when that sweet-talk is done: Keep on a- talkin'

A woman’s a two-faced

A worrisome thing

Who’ll leave you to sing the blues… The blues…

In the night.» Yes, in the night

Now the rain’s a-fallin'

Hear the train a-callin' - Oohee…

My momma done tol' me. Oh…

Hey, that lonesome whistle’s

Blowin' 'cross the trestle. Oohee…

My momma done tol' me. Hey, ahooee — ahooee!

A clickety-clackin'

And echoin' back at the blues…

In the night

The evenin' breeze — The stars —

The trees a-cryin' and the moon

'll hide its light

When you get the blues

In the night. It’s really tough to get the blues in the night

Take my word:

The mockingbird

Sings the saddest kind of song;

He knows things are wrong —

And he’s right. Yes, he’s right to sing the blues in the night

From Natchez to Mobile;

From Memphis to St. Joe;

Wherever the four winds blow; They blow everywhere!

I been in some big towns, Yeah!

And I done heard me some big talk, Ahh, ahh…

But there’s one thing I know: Keep a-talkin'

A woman’s a-two-faced —

A worrisome thing

Who’ll leave you to sing the blues… The blues

In the night. Yes, in the night

A woman will leave you singin' the blues

I know she will —

My momma was right:

The blues in the night
