A worrisome thing who'll leave you to sing the blues
Publisher: WB MUSIC CORP.
A woman's a two face
When I was in knee pants
My Mama done told me
Hear that lonesome whistle
A whoo-ee-duh whoo-ee
Wherever the four winds blow
In the night
A woman's a two face
From Memphis to St. Joe
Hear the train a callin'
Ol' clickety clack's a echoin' back the blues
(My Mama done told me)
Blowin' 'cross the trestle
In the night
Whoo-ee
But there is one thing I know
Now the rain's a fallin'
In the night
And give you the big eye
Whoo-ee
"Son, a woman'll sweet talk
And heard me some big talk
From Natchez to Mobile
A worrisome thing who'll leave you to sing the blues
(My Mama done told me)
Yeah I've been in some big towns
Songwriters: Harold Arlen, Johnny Mercer
My Mama done told me
But when the sweet talkin's done"
