《Furry Sings The Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] Furry Sings The Blues (Live) - Joni Mitchell

[00:00:16] Old Beale Street is coming down

[00:00:20] Sweeties' Snack Bar boarded up now

[00:00:24] And Eagles The Tailor

[00:00:25] And the Shine Boy's gone

[00:00:28] Faded out with ragtime blues

[00:00:34] Handy's cast in bronze and

[00:00:37] He's standing in a little park

[00:00:40] With his trumpet in his hand

[00:00:41] Like he's listening we we back to

[00:00:44] The good old bands

[00:00:46] And the click of high heeled shoes

[00:00:50] Old Furry sings the blues

[00:00:54] Propped up in his bed

[00:00:55] With his dentures and his leg removed

[00:01:00] And Ginny's there for

[00:01:02] Her kindness and Furry's beer

[00:01:05] She's the old man's angel overseer

[00:01:18] Pawn shops glitter like gold tooth caps

[00:01:23] In the grey decay

[00:01:24] They chew the last few dollars off

[00:01:27] Old Beale Street's carcass

[00:01:32] Carrion and mercy

[00:01:37] Blue and silver sparkling drums

[00:01:41] Cheap guitars eye shades and guns

[00:01:45] Aimed at the hot blood of being no one

[00:01:50] Down and out in Memphis Tennessee

[00:01:54] Old Furry sings the blues

[00:01:57] Bring him smoke

[00:01:58] And drink and he'll play for you

[00:02:03] Lt's mostly muttering now

[00:02:06] And sideshow spiel

[00:02:09] But there was one song he played

[00:02:11] I could really feel

[00:02:27] There's a double bill murder

[00:02:29] At the New Daisy

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

[00:02:37] She's silent waiting for the wrecker's beat

[00:02:41] Silent staring at her stolen name

[00:02:46] Diamond boys and satin dolls

[00:02:51] Bourbon laughter ghosts history falls

[00:02:56] To parking lots and shopping malls

[00:02:59] As they tear down old Beale Street

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

[00:03:06] He points a bony finger

[00:03:08] At you and says I don't like you

[00:03:13] Everybody laughs as

[00:03:15] If it's the old man's standard joke

[00:03:18] But it's true

[00:03:19] We're only welcome

[00:03:20] For our drink and smoke

[00:03:31] W C Handy I'm rich and I'm fay

[00:03:36] And I'm not familiar with what you played

[00:03:40] But I get such strong impressions

[00:03:42] Of your hey day

[00:03:45] Looking up and down old Beale Street

[00:03:50] Ghosts of the darktown society

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

[00:03:58] Like it's a Saturday night

[00:04:00] Everybody fly

[00:04:02] 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

[00:04:12] To give it to me true

[00:04:16] Fallen to hard luck

[00:04:19] And time and other thieves

[00:04:22] While our limo is shining

[00:04:23] On his shanty street

[00:04:26] Old Furry sings the blues
