《Furry Sings The Blues(Concert Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Furry Sings The Blues (Concert Version) - The Band

[00:00:15] Old Beale Street is coming down

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

[00:00:24] And Egles The Tailor and the Shine Boy's gone

[00:00:29] Faded out with ragtime blues

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

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

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

[00:00:42] Like he's listening back to the good old bands

[00:00:47] And the click of high heeled shoes

[00:00:51] Old Furry sings the blues

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

[00:00:57] With his dentures and his leg removed

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

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

[00:01:06] She's the old man's angel overseer

[00:01:19] Pawn shops glitter like gold tooth caps

[00:01:23] In the grey decay

[00:01:25] They chew the last few dollars off

[00:01:28] Old Beale Street's carcass

[00:01:32] Carrion and mercy

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

[00:01:42] Cheap guitars eye shades and guns

[00:01:46] 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

[00:01:58] You bring him smoke and drink and he'll play for you

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

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

[00:02:11] I could really feel

[00:02:31] There's a double bill murder at the New Daisy

[00:02:35] The old girl's silent across the street

[00:02:39] She's silent - waiting for the wrecker's beat

[00:02:43] Silent - staring ar her stolen name

[00:02:49] Diamond boys and satin dolls

[00:02:53] Bourbon laughter- ghosts - history falls

[00:02:58] To parking lots and shopping malls

[00:03:01] As they tear down old Beale Street

[00:03:04] Old Furry sings the blues

[00:03:10] He points a bony finger at you and

[00:03:13] I don't like you

[00:03:14] Everybody laughs as if it's the old man's standard joke

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

[00:03:19] We're only welcome for our drink and smoke

[00:03:32] W C Handy I'm rich and I'm fay

[00:03:37] And I'm not familiar with what you played

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

[00:03:57] Like it's a Saturday night

[00:03:59] 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 to give it to me true

[00:04:15] Fallen to hard luck

[00:04:17] And time and other thieves

[00:04:21] While our limo is shining on his shanty street

[00:04:24] Old Furry sings the blues
