My mamma done told me
     D
When I was in pigtails
   D
My mamma done told me, Hon
  G
A man is a two-face
      G
He'll give you the big eye
D
And when the sweet talking's done
  A
A man is a two-face
  G
A worrisome thing who'll leave you to sing
    D
The blues in the night

D
Now the rains a-fallin'
G                          D
Hear the trains a-callin', whooee!
G
Hear the lonesome whistle
x         A7                D
Blowin' across the trestle, whooee
A                    D
A-whooee-ah-whooee, clickety-clack
      A
Comes echoing back
    D
The blues in the night

D
From Natchez to Mobile
G
From Memphis to St. Joe
D
Wherever the four winds blow
G
I've been in some big towns
G
And heard me some big talk
D
But there is one thing I know
  A                       G
A man is a two-face, a worrisome thing who'll leave you to sing
    D
The blues in the night

   D
My mamma done told me
     D
When I was in pigtails
   D
My mamma done told me, Hon
  G
A man is a two-face
      G
He'll give you the big eye
D
And when the sweet talking's done
  A
A man is a two-face
  G
A worrisome thing who'll leave you to sing
    D
The blues in the night
