Weeping Willow Blues 歌詞
Weeping Willow Blues - Bessie Smith
I went down to the river sat beneath
The willow tree
The dew dropped on those willow
Leaves and it rolled right down on me
And that's the reason I've got those
Weepin' willow blues
I went up on the mountain high as
Any girl could stand
And looked down on the mean
Town that took away my lovin' man
And that's the reason I've got those
Weepin' willow blues
I heard the whistle blowin' the
Fireman ring the bell
They're takin' away that willow
Tree that give me this weepin' spell
And that's the reason I've got those
Weepin willow blues
When you're broken
Hearted and your man is out of town
Go to the river take the chains and sit down
And if he don't come back to
You I'll tell you what to do
Just jump right overboard
Cause he ain't no more to you
Folks I love my man I kiss him
Mornin noon and night
I wash his clothes and keep him
Clean and try to treat him right
Now he's gone and left me after all I tried to do
The way he treats me girls
He'll do the same to you
That's the reason
I've got those weepin' willow blues
