Julie London

Julie London (born Gayle Peck; September 26, 1926 – October 18, 2000) was an American singer, actress and game show panelist of the 1960s and 1970s. She was best known for her smoky, sensual voice. Her singing career's peak was in the 1950s as a pop and jazz singer, scoring a hit with her 1955 single "Cry Me a River". In the three and a half decades of her acting career, she co-starred opposite Gary Cooper in Man of the West (1958). Before her retirement, she later achieved renewed success with the female lead role of nurse Dixie McCall in the 1970s medical drama Emergency! (1972–1979), co-starring her best friend Robert Fuller and her real-life husband and best friend Bobby Troup, and produced by her ex-husband Jack Webb. more »

My mama done tol' me, 
When I was in pig tails
My mama done tol' me, 
Hon! A man's gonna sweet talk 
And give ya the big eye; 
But when the sweet talkin's done, 
A man is 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 th' blues in the night 

The evenin' breeze'll start the trees to cryin' 
And the moon will hide its light 
When you get the blues in the night 
Take my word, the mockin' bird'll 
Sing the saddest kind o' song 
He knows things are wrong and he's right
Oh oh 

From Natchez to Mobile, 
From Memphis to St. Joe, 
Wherever the four winds blow, 
I been in some big towns, 
I heard me some big talk, 
But there is one thing I know 
A man is a two face, 
A worrisome thing 
Who'll leave ya t'sing 
The blues in the night
Oh oh 
My mama was right, my mama was right
There's blues in the night
