《Beale Street Mama》歌词

[00:00:00] Beale Street Mamma - Bessie Smith (贝西·史密斯)

[00:00:14] Jenny Neale,

[00:00:16] Down in Beale,

[00:00:19] Gave her papa the air;

[00:00:24] Left him cold,

[00:00:27] Got him told,

[00:00:30] Said she didn't care.

[00:00:34] Old Joe, her beau,

[00:00:39] Looked just like he would die;

[00:00:44] If you was near him,

[00:00:48] You would hear him

[00:00:50] Sob his mournful cry:

[00:00:56] Beale Street Papa,

[00:01:01] Why don't you come back home?

[00:01:07] It isn't proper to leave your mama all alone!

[00:01:17] Sometimes I was cruel,

[00:01:19] That was true,

[00:01:21] But Papa, you know Mama never two-timed you!

[00:01:26] Boo-hoo, I'm blue;

[00:01:31] So how come you do me like you do?

[00:01:35] I'm cryin'!

[00:01:37] Beale Street Papa, don't mess around with me!

[00:01:47] There's plenty pettin' that

[00:01:49] I can get in Tennessee,

[00:01:55] I'll still get my sweet cooking,

[00:01:59] Constantly,

[00:02:01] But not the kind you served to me,

[00:02:06] So Beale Street Papa, come back home!

[00:02:49] So how come you do me like you do?

[00:02:52] I'm cryin'

[00:02:53] Beale Street Papa, don't mess around with me!

[00:03:04] There's plenty pettin' that

[00:03:06] I can get in Tennessee,

[00:03:11] I bought a rifle, razor and a knife,

[00:03:17] A full support can't save my life

[00:03:21] So Beale Street Papa,

[00:03:25] Come back home!
