My mama done told me;
When I was in pigtails
My mama done told me
hon; A landlord ll sweet talk
; And promise you good things
But when the sweet
talking’s done;
A landlord is twofaced
sweet talking thing who’ll
Leave you to sing; The blues in the night
See him making
friction; Hear him talk eviction
whoo wee
My mama done told me
Talk to you
legislator; be an agitatior whoo wee
mama done told me Whoo wee whoo
wee
An enforcement pack
will hold back The
blues in the night
From Medford to
Salem from Portland to
Grants Pass
In towns clear across
the state; We need to fight for enforcement
Of laws to protect us Or it’ll be our fate
To live with the two
faced worrisome thing who’ll leave us t sing
The blues in the night
Hum Humm
My mama was right
There’s blues in the
night.
