Good riddance, goodbye   Every trick of his, you're on to -   But fools will be fools, and where's he gone to?      The road gets rougher   It's lonelier and tougher   With hope, you burn up   Tomorrow, he may turn up   There's just no let-up   The livelong night and day      Ever since this world began,   There is nothing sadder than   A one-man woman   Looking for the man that got away      Don't know why   There's no sun up in the sky   Stormy weather   Since my man and I ain't together   Keeps rainin' all the time      Life is bare   Gloom and misery everywhere   Stormy weather   Just can't get my poor self together   I'm weary all the time, the time   So weary all the time      When he went away,   The blues walked in and met me   If he stays away,   Old rocking chair will get me   All I do is pray   The Lord above will let me   Walk in the sun once more      My mama done tol' me   When I was in pigtails,   My mama done tol' me,   "Hon, a man's gonna sweet-talk   And give ya the big eye,   But when the sweet talkin's done,   A man is a two-face,   A worrisome thing   Who'll leave ya to sing   The blues in the night"      Now, the rain's a-fallin',   Hear the train a-callin', "Whooee!"   My mama done tol' me   Hear that lonesome whistle   Blowin' 'cross the trestle, "Whooee!"   My mama done tol' me   Ah-whooee-ah-whooee   Ol' clickety-clack's a-echoin' back   The blues in the night      The evenin' breeze will start   The trees to cryin'   And the moon will hide its light   When you get the blues in the night   Take my word   The mockingbird'll sing   The saddest kind o' song   He knows things are wrong and he's right      Whooee-ooh   Whooee-ooh      From Natchez to Mobile,   From Memphis to St. Joe,   Wherever the four winds blow   I' been in some big towns   I heard me some big talk   But there is one thing I know   A man is a two-face   A worrisome thing   Who'll leave ya to sing   The blues in the night      Whooee-ooh   Whooee-ooh   My mama was right   I know she was right   There's blues in the night
