《Why I Sing the Blues》歌词

[00:00:01] Why I Sing The Blues - Aretha Franklin

[00:00:22] Everybody wants to know,

[00:00:25] they ask me why I sing the blues

[00:00:30] Everybody wants to know now,

[00:00:33] why I keep crying the blues

[00:00:37] Well, I've been around little while

[00:00:41] and I've paid some dues, yes, I have

[00:00:44] People laying in ghetto flats, cold and numb

[00:00:48] Looking at roaches,

[00:00:49] telling bedbugs to move over and give 'em some

[00:00:52] Oh, it's hot in here,

[00:00:55] that's one reason I'm singing the blues, yeah

[00:01:00] Been around a long time,

[00:01:02] God knows I've paid a few dues, yes, I have

[00:01:07] Stood in line at the County Hall

[00:01:10] Heard a man saying:

[00:01:11] "We're gonna build some apartments for y'all

[00:01:15] Up in renewal, work on a removal, talk to me, yeah

[00:01:21] Don't feel bad about it, just trying to be free

[00:01:28] I don't want my kids growing up to be no fools

[00:01:32] You keep rapping to me y'all ain't got no room in school, yeah

[00:01:39] And you want to know why I'm singing the blues, yeah

[00:01:44] Been around a little while

[00:01:47] and I've seen some people paying dues, yes, I have

[00:01:51] Some of my friends told me I was born to loose

[00:01:54] But when I looked around

[00:01:55] they were singing the same old kind of blues, now

[00:02:01] And you want to know

[00:02:02] why I'm singing 'em this evening, yeah

[00:02:06] Don't be saying those,

[00:02:08] everybody pays some dues sometimes

[00:02:12] Yeah, sing the blues now
