《The Weary Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] The Weary Blues - Charles Mingus (查尔斯·明格斯)

[00:01:01] Droning a drowsy syncopated tune

[00:01:05] Rocking back and forth to a mellow croon

[00:01:08] I heard a Negro play

[00:01:12] Down on Lenox Avenue the other night

[00:01:15] By the pale dull pallor of an old gas light

[00:01:19] He did a lazy sway

[00:01:22] He did a lazy sway

[00:01:23] To the tune those Weary Blues

[00:01:28] With his ebony hands on each ivory key

[00:01:31] He made that poor piano moan with melody

[00:01:35] Oh Blues

[00:01:38] Swaying to and fro on his rickety stool

[00:01:41] He played that sad raggy tune like a musical fool

[00:01:45] Sweet Blues

[00:01:48] Coming from a black man's soul

[00:01:51] Oh Blues

[00:01:56] In a deep song voice with a melancholy tone

[00:01:59] I heard that Negro sing that old piano moan

[00:02:04] Ain't got nobody in all this world

[00:02:08] Ain't got nobody but meself

[00:02:11] I was gwine to quit ma frowning

[00:02:13] And put ma troubles on the shelf

[00:02:18] Thump thump thump went his foot on the floor

[00:02:22] He played a few chords then he sang some more

[00:02:25] I got the Weary Blues

[00:02:26] And I can't be satisfied

[00:02:29] Got the Weary Blues

[00:02:31] And can't be satisfied

[00:02:34] I ain't happy no more

[00:02:36] And I wish that I had died

[00:02:41] Far into the night he crooned that tune

[00:02:44] The stars went out and so did the moon

[00:02:47] The singer stopped playing and went to bed

[00:02:51] While the Weary Blues echoed through his head

[00:02:54] He slept like a rock or a man that's dead
