J C Holmes Blues

J C Holmes Blues - Louis Armstrong (路易斯·阿姆斯特朗)

Listen people if you want to hear

A story told about a brave engineer

J C Holmes was the rider's name

A heavyweight wheelman with a mighty fame

JC said with a smile so fine

Woman gets tired of one man all the time

Get two or three if you have to hide

If the train go and leave you got a mule to ride

In the second cabin sat Miss Alice Bry

Going to ride with Mr JC or die

I ain't good looking and I don't dress fine

But I'm a rambling woman with a rambling mind

Just then the conductor hollered All aboard

And the porter said We got our load

Look a-here son we oughta be gone

I feel like riding if it's all night long

JC said just before he died

Two more roads he wanted to ride

Everybody wondered what road it could be

He said The Southern Pacific and The Santa Fe

JC said I don't feel right

I saw my girl with a man last night

Soon as I get enough steam just right

I've been mistreated and I don't mind die
