Blue Flame Songtext
von Woody Herman

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
