《The Memphis Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] The Memphis Blues - Eartha Kitt

[00:00:00] Written by：George A. Norton/W. C. Handy

[00:00:10] Folks I've just been down

[00:00:13] Down to Memphis town

[00:00:14] That's where the people smile

[00:00:17] Smile on you all the while

[00:00:19] Hospitality they were good to me

[00:00:24] I couldn't spend a dime

[00:00:25] And had the grandest time

[00:00:28] I went out a dancing

[00:00:29] With a Tennessee dear

[00:00:31] They had a fellow there named Handy

[00:00:33] With a band you should hear

[00:00:36] And while the dance gently swayed

[00:00:39] All the band boys played real harmony

[00:00:45] I never will forget the tune

[00:00:47] That Handy called the Memphis Blues

[00:00:53] They got a fiddler there

[00:00:56] That always slickens his hair

[00:00:58] And folks he sure does pull some bow

[00:01:02] And when the big Bassoon

[00:01:05] Seconds to the Trombones croon

[00:01:11] It moans just like a sinner

[00:01:14] On Revival Day

[00:02:14] Hear me people

[00:02:15] Hear me people

[00:02:16] Hear me I pray

[00:02:17] I'm gonna take a million lesson's

[00:02:20] 'Til I learn how to play

[00:02:22] Because I seem to hear it yet

[00:02:25] Simply can't forget

[00:02:27] That blue refrain

[00:02:31] There's nothing like the Handy Band

[00:02:33] That played the Memphis Blues so grand

[00:02:40] That melancholy strain

[00:02:42] That ever haunting refrain

[00:02:44] Is like a morning sorrow song

[00:02:48] Here comes the very part

[00:02:51] That wraps a spell around my heart

[00:02:58] I can't forget the tune

[00:03:00] That Handy called the Memphis Blues

[00:03:06] I can't forget the tune

[00:03:09] That Handy called the Memphis

[00:03:15] The Memphis Blues
