Like a halo tenderly.

Oh, how happy I would be.

My momma don't told me
When I was in pigtails
My momma don't told me, hon
A man's gonna sweet talk
And he will give you the big eye
But when that sweet talking's done
A man is a two-faced, a worrisome thing
Who'll leave you to sing the blues in the night
Now the rain's are fallin'
I hear the trains are callin', hooey
My momma don't told me
Hear that lonesome whistle
A blowing across the trestle, hoo hooey
My momma don't told me, a hooey, a hooey
Old clickety clack is echoing back the blues in the night
The evenin' breeze will start the trees to cryin'
And the moon will hot its light
When you get the blues in the night
Oh, take my word the Mockingbird
Who'll sing the saddest kind of 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've been to some big towns
I've heard me some big talk
But there is one thing I know
A man is a two faced, a worrisome thing
Who'll leave you to sing the blues in the night
My momma don't told me there's blues in the night

1942. She was a rising star. Great song! And that fine orchestra really enhances it with a great arrangement.

Excepcional cantora, infelizmente pouco divulgada no Brasil.
@SuperHartline
the best of all the many renditions of this song. Dinah owned Blues in the Night.
@johnjarou2357
rueben hart beg to differ. rosemary clooney had the best version.
@danielstanwyck2812
The 'best" version? The "best" version. There is no 'best' VERSION. They are ALL the "best" version. Depends on the day and your mood. And I know what I'm talking about as much as you know what you're talking aboutZ!

Dinah sang this w/ Duke Ellington on television's Bell Telephone Hour. Louie Bellson on drums. Two & a half minutes of pure heaven. There's no replacing her. The greatest ever.

Stafford's version has more feeling. And the Mercer-Stafford is aces, too. But this is good. I believe it was the most popular at the time.
@normagilpin7841
A really talented singer with a great technique.
