Frank Sinatra - Blues In The Night Lyrics
My mama done tol' me, when I was in knee-pants
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 to sing the blues in the night
Now the rain's a-fallin', hear the train's a-callin, "Whooee!"
(My mama done tol' me)
A-whooee-ah-whooee ol' clickety-clack's a-echoin' back th' blues in the night
The evenin' breeze'll start the trees to cryin'
And the moon'll 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
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 woman's a two-face, a worrisome thing who'll leave ya to sing the blues in the night

I can't believe that I heard this for the first time this morning, on WMVY...
As much as I admire Arlen's and Mercer's work, together and separately, I always dismissed this tune as a "pseudo-Blues," usually sung by someone who had no idea of what the Blues was.
When the perfect interpretation of a tune hits your hears, it can give you the experience of having heard a tune a thousand times before, and yet, when THAT performance hits you, you finally understand what the tune is all about.
This happened to me this morning, and not just because of Francis Albert's prodigious vocal musicianship, but also because of Nelson Riddle's Impressionistic arrangement.
This is more than a standard...
This is more than Jazz singing...
This is Art Song.

Frank Sinatra sings this classic as a slow ballad, and the sad meaning of the lyrics stand out. great arrangement of the song.
