My mama told me
When I was in need once
Mama told me
She said girl
Now let me tell ya
A man is a sweet dog
He'll give you the great big smile
But bitter sweet ??
She said girl, allright

A man is two faced 
And he'll wear you something
To leave you to sing the blues
In the night

From movies to night clubs
They'll show you a far chance
Enough to keep going real slow 
The sky sky sky sky
??
Talking his big talk
A man is a one thing that I know, allright

A man is two faced 
And he'll wear you something
To leave you to sing the blues
In the night

Hear the lonesome whistle
Now you know you talk to my ??
Now you hear that lonesome whistle
Now you know you talk to my??

A little black girl come echoing bring back the blues
A little bad girl come echoing bring back the blues
Hear me singing
The blues of mine
I got blues in the night
I got blues in the night
I get your blues in the night
