《Furry Sings the Blues》歌词

[00:00:19] Old beale street is coming down

[00:00:23] Sweeties' snack bar boarded up now

[00:00:27] And egles the tailor and the shine boy's gone

[00:00:32] Faded out with ragtime blues

[00:00:37] Handy's cast in bronze

[00:00:40] And he's standing in a little park

[00:00:43] With a trumpet in his hand

[00:00:45] Like he's listening back to the good old bands

[00:00:50] And the click of high heeled shoes

[00:00:54] Old furry sings the blues

[00:00:57] Propped up in his bed

[00:00:58] With his dentures and his leg removed

[00:01:03] And ginny's there

[00:01:05] For her kindness and furry's beer

[00:01:08] She's the old man's angel overseer

[00:01:21] Pawn shops glitter like gold tooth caps

[00:01:26] In the grey decay

[00:01:28] They chew the last few dollars off

[00:01:30] Old beale street's carcass

[00:01:35] Carrion and mercy

[00:01:40] Blue and silver sparkling drums

[00:01:44] Cheap guitars eye shades and guns

[00:01:49] Aimed at the hot blood of being no one

[00:01:53] Down and out in memphis tennessee

[00:01:57] Old furry sings the blues

[00:02:00] You bring him smoke and drink and he'll play for you

[00:02:06] Lt's mostly muttering now and sideshow spiel

[00:02:12] But there was one song he played

[00:02:14] I could really feel

[00:02:29] There's a double bill murder at the new daisy

[00:02:31] The old girl's silent across the street

[00:02:35] She's silent - waiting for the wrecker's beat

[00:02:41] Silent - staring ar her stolen name

[00:02:45] Diamond boys and satin dolls

[00:02:52] Bourbon laughter- ghosts - history falls

[00:02:57] To parking lots and shopping malls

[00:03:01] As they tear down old beale street

[00:03:03] Old furry sings the blues

[00:03:07] He points a bony finger at you and

[00:03:10] "i don't like you"

[00:03:12] Everybody laughs as if it's the old man's standard joke

[00:03:17] But it's true

[00:03:19] We're only welcome for our drink and smoke

[00:03:31] W c handy i'm rich and i'm fay

[00:03:37] And i'm not familiar with what you played

[00:03:39] But i get such strong impressions of your hey day

[00:03:45] Looking up and down old beale street

[00:03:49] Ghosts of the darktown society

[00:03:54] Come right out of the bricks at me

[00:03:57] Like it's a saturday night

[00:04:00] They're in their finery

[00:04:03] Dancing it up and making deals

[00:04:07] Furry sings the blues

[00:04:10] Why should i expect that old guy to give it to me true

[00:04:16] Fallen to hard luck

[00:04:18] And time and other thieves

[00:04:21] While our limo is shining on his shanty street

[00:04:25] Old furry sings the blues
