Blues In the Night

[Verse 1: Bill Champlin]

My mama done told me when I was in knee-pants

My mama done told me, she said, "Son!

A woman will sweet-talk ya, she'll give you the big eye

But when that sweet talkin' is done

A woman's a two-face, a worrisome thing

Who'll leave ya to sing the blues in the night"

[Verse 2: Bill Champlin]

Now, the rain's a-fallin'

Hear the train a-callin', whoo-ee

Hear the lonesome whistle

Blowin' 'cross the trestle, whoo-ee

Whoo-ee-A-whoo-Ee, Ol' clickety-clack

I'm back on the track of blues in the night

The evening breeze

Will start the trees to cryin'

And the moonlight'll hide its light

When you get the blues in the night

[Verse 3: Bill Champlin]

Take my word, the mockingbird

He will sing the saddest kind o' song

He knows things are wrong and he's right

[Instrumental]

[Guitar Solo]

[Interlude: Bill Champlin]

Oh whoa oh ho

[Verse 4: Bill Champlin]

From Natchez to Mobile

From Memphis to St. Joe

Wherever the four winds seem to blow

I've been in some big towns

And I've heard me some big talkin'

But there is one thing I know

[Outro: Bill Champlin (Bandmates)]

A woman's a two-face

She's a worrisome thing

Who'll leave ya to sing the blues in the night

Got a case of the blues in the night

(Don't know what to do)

Blues every night...
