《Why I Sing The Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] Why I Sing The Blues - Ike & Tina Turner

[00:00:23] Everybody wants to know

[00:00:26] Why I sing the blues

[00:00:30] Yes I say everybody wanna know

[00:00:34] Why I sing the blues

[00:00:37] Well I've been around for a long time

[00:00:41] I really have paid my dues

[00:00:45] When I first got the blues

[00:00:47] They brought me over on a ship

[00:00:49] I try to get my men standing

[00:00:51] But they get more with a whip

[00:00:53] And everybody wanna know

[00:00:56] Why I sing the blues

[00:01:00] Well I've been around for a long time

[00:01:03] People let me tell you I've paid my dues

[00:01:08] You know I've laid in a ghetto flat

[00:01:10] Cold and numb

[00:01:12] I heard the rats tell the bedbugs

[00:01:14] To give the roaches some

[00:01:16] And everybody wanna know

[00:01:18] Why I'm singing the blues

[00:01:22] Yes I've been around for a long time

[00:01:25] Let me tell you I've paid my dues

[00:01:52] I stood in line

[00:01:55] Down at the county hall

[00:01:56] And I heard a man say we're gonna build

[00:01:59] Some new apartments for y'all

[00:02:00] And everybody wanna know

[00:02:04] Why I'm singing the blues

[00:02:07] Yes I've been around for a long time

[00:02:10] People let me tell you I've paid my dues

[00:02:14] You know probably told me

[00:02:17] Cause I wanna gonna grow

[00:02:19] 'Cause I black can think the proes

[00:02:21] Every part that you

[00:02:22] And everybody wanna know

[00:02:26] Why I'm singing the blues

[00:02:29] Cause I've been around for a long time

[00:02:32] And I've really really paid my dues

[00:02:52] I shame another young

[00:02:54] I've really really love singing my blue
