Travellin' Blues 歌詞
Travellin' Blues (Live) - Carmen McRae (卡門·麥克蕾)/Dave Brubeck (戴夫布·魯貝克)
I've travelled across the country
I've sung with lots of bands
I've played in those big cities
That book those one-night stands
I'm lonely and I'm weary
I know the scene so well
The blues have come to get me
And to drag me down to hell
But I keep travelling
What have I got to lose
I keep travelling
Unravelling all my blues
I check into a hotel
And then forget its name;
Yes I could ask but oh well
Aren't all hotels the same
Sink into the mattress
Pray God my soul to keep;
The blues are in the street
Cries that haunt my troubles sleep
But I keep travelling
What have I got to lose
I just keep on
Unravelling all my blues
I wake up every morning
Wonder where I'm at;
I look into the mirror
And ask myself "Who's that "
I left behind a good man
A face I can't recall
And yet I love my old man
Or no man's been love at all
But I keep on travelling
What have I got to lose
Just keep on travelling
Unravelling all my blues
I know the blues confuse me
Hold me in their trap;
They meet me and they lose me
While round ny brain they wrap
A web of lonely journeys
All spun from evil thread
That twist and turn and tangle me
Until my soul is dead
Ooh-oo-oo but I keep travelling
What have I got to lose
I just keep travelling
Trying to lose all my blues
