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
A man is a two-face, a worrisome thing
Who’ll leave you to sing the blues in the nightNow 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 nightThe 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 rightFrom 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 nightThe 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 rightFrom 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.(slowly descending to insanity)





so you’re like something of a looney tunes guru i take it
Yes..
late one night before the tavern keeper shut his door
a wobbly gentleman came in his footing was unsure
mustachioed and handsome and his clothing touched the floor
he was no man at all he was three kobolds in a trenchcoat
ones on the bottom strong is he
twos in the middle carrying three
threes pretending not to be three kobolds in a trenchcoat
one day when a maiden was out on her nightly stroll
she got lost in the forest and was set on by a gnoll
when in there stepped a gentleman mustachioed and tall
he was no help at all cause hes three kobolds in a trench coat
ones on the bottom strong is he
twos in the middle carrying three
threes pretending not to be three kobolds in a trenchcoat
once there was a king who was a scourge upon his land
the citizens all wished him dead his rule they couldnt stand
one day he just fell dead on the pavement by no hand
he happened to have died next to three kobolds in a trenchcoat
ones on the bottom strong is he
twos in the middle carrying three
threes pretending not to be three kobolds in a trenchcoat
the people of the kingdom the mans praises they did sing
believing that he was the one who slew their awful king
put on his head a crown and to the throne they did him bring
but little did they know he was three kobolds in a trenchcoat
ones on the bottom strong is he
twos in the middle carrying three
threes pretending not to be three kobolds in a trenchcoat
it didnt take them long to hate their brand new overlord
he butchered up the tax code and put rebels to the sword
from out of his own kingdom he was driven by the horde
the economy had been ruined by three kobolds in a trenchcoat
ones on the bottom strong is he
twos in the middle carrying three
threes pretending not to be three kobolds in a trenchcoat
Jesse what the fuck are you talking about.
