Fitzgerald, Ella - Blues In The Night Lyrics
My mama done tol' me
When I was in pigtails
My mama done tol' me
A man's gonna sweet-talk and give you the big eyes
But when the sweet-talking's done
Who'll leave you to 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-whooee-ah-whooee ol' clickety-clack's
A-echoin' back th' blues in the night
And the moon'll hide it's 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
From Natchez to mobile,
From Memphis to St. Joe
Wherever the four winds blow
I been in some big towns
An' heard me some big talk
But there is one thing I know
A man's a two-face, a worrisome thing
Who'll leave you to sing the blues in the night
The evenin' breeze'll start the trees to cryin'
And the moon'll hide it's 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
From Natchez to mobile,
From Memphis to St. Joe
Wherever the four winds blow
I been in some big towns
An' heard me some big talk
But there is one thing I know
A man's a two-face, a worrisome thing
Who'll leave ya to sing the blues in the night
Yes the lonely, lonely blues in the night

Is partisan zeal? You were recommended that video too?

The extended version she recorded in 1961 with Billy May is even better.

Who'll leave you to sing the blues in the night

Where would we be if our mamas didn't tell us any words of wisdom? Happy Mother's Day, and thank you Ella for this great rendition of Blues in the Night
im going to get some flak for saying this, but i actually like the duck dodgers version better. dont get me wrong, ella fitzgerald is an amazing singer, but i feel like DD's version had more pizzazz.
ashdude55 Mee too
Got here from Martian Queen. Please don't hate me.
Who's here because of duck dodgers?
@Артём Дроздов Some times thats all it takes to make a song better.
This has been a staple song of the Looney Tunes. I remember this song sung by that buzzard with a dumb look...
The Ronin sonavabitch you too?
Me and Looney Tunes 😁😂
Essa música é linda de todas as formas. ...
music of my childhood- great lessons learned- thanx Ella-
B-E-A-U-T-U-F-U-L
Great version. Vocals and the band both.
It beats the pants off Peggy Lee's version, hands down. Ella brings it home.
++Schechter Arts
Katie Melua has a great version too. It has a very haunting accompaniment that adds a lot to the total impact. Very different from Ella, and very atmospheric. Give it a whirl. You'd enjoy it.
