BLUES IN THE NIGHT Woody Herman - words by Johnny Mercer, music by Harold Arlen - written for a film called "Hot Nocturne", this song became so popular that the movie was re-titled "Blues in the Night"
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
Strangers in the night って古い歌もあったな。 しかし確かに at morning と言うのを聞かないのはなぜだか分からない。 案外、外人には at night は発音しやすく、at mornig は発音しにくい という理由だったり?( t のあとが n なのと m なのとで)。
