Woody Herman
 - words by Johnny Mercer, music by Harold Arlen
 - written for a film called "Hot Nocturne", this song became
 so popular that the movie was re-titled "Blues in the Night"

 My mama done tol' me
 When I was in kneepants
 My mama done tol' me, Son!
 A woman'll sweet talk
 And give ya the big eye
 But when the sweet talkin's done
 A woman's a two-face
 A worrisome thing who'll leave ya t' sing the blues in the night

 Now the rain's a-fallin'
 Hear the train a-callin'
 Whoo-ee (My mama done tol' me)
 Hear that lonesome whistle
 Blowin' 'cross the trestle
 Whoo-ee (My mama done tol' me)
 A whoo-ee-duh whoo-ee
 Ol' clickety clack's a-echoin' back the blues in the night (Hum)
 My mama was right, there's blues in the night
