Beale Street Blues Lyrics
Beale Street Blues - Eartha Kitt/Shorty Rogers
If Beale Street could talk
Beale Street could talk
Married men would have to
Take their beds and walk
Except one or two
Who never drink booze
And the blind man on the corner
Who sings the Beale Street Blues
I'd rather be here
Than any place I know
I'd rather be here
Than any place I know
It's gonna take the sergeant
For to make me go
Goin' to the river
Maybe by and by
Goin' to the river
And there's a reason why
Because the river's wet
And Beale Street's done gone dry
Goin' to the river
Maybe by and by
Goin' to the river
And there's a reason why
Because the river's wet
And Beale Street's done gone dry
Because the river's wet
And Beale Street's done gone dry
Because the river's wet
And Beale Street's done gone dry
