《Beale Street Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] Beale Street Blues (比尔街的蓝调) - Joan Morris/William Bolcom

[00:00:03] Composed by：W.C. Handy

[00:00:14] I've seen the lights of gay Broadway

[00:00:22] Old Market Street down by the Frisco Bay

[00:00:29] I've strolled the Prado I've gambled on the Bourse

[00:00:38] The seven wonders of the world I've seen

[00:00:47] And many are the places I have been

[00:00:54] Take my advice folks and see Beale Street first

[00:01:02] You'll see the trum

[00:01:04] You'll beautiful trams

[00:01:06] You'll see tailor mades and hand me downs

[00:01:10] You'll meet honest men and pickpockets skilled

[00:01:14] You'll find that bus'ness never closes till somebody gets killed

[00:01:18] You'll see huge resturents

[00:01:20] And shape and hage

[00:01:22] You'll see Jugs that tell of bygone days

[00:01:26] And places once places

[00:01:28] Now just a shame

[00:01:30] You'll see Golden Balls enough to pave the New Jerusalem

[00:01:34] You'll see the nation

[00:01:36] You are the first relation

[00:01:38] Who come to Beale for inspiration

[00:01:43] Politicians call you a dub

[00:01:46] Unless you've been initiated in the Rickriters Club

[00:01:50] If Beale Street could talk

[00:01:52] Beale Street could talk

[00:01:54] Married men would have to

[00:01:56] Take their beds and walk

[00:01:58] Except one or two

[00:02:00] Who never drink booze

[00:02:02] And the blind man on the corner

[00:02:04] Who sings the Beale Street Blues

[00:02:08] I'd rather be here than any place I know

[00:02:18] I'd rather be here than any place I know

[00:02:28] It's goin' to take the seargent for to make me go

[00:02:37] Goin' to the river maybe bye and bye

[00:02:46] Goin' to the river and there's rivers way

[00:02:55] Because the rivers wet

[00:02:58] And Beale Street's done gone dry
