St. Louis Blues: Beale Street Blues

Beale Street Blues (比爾街的藍調) - Eartha Kitt

If Beale Street could talk

If 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

You'll see pretty browns in beautiful gowns

You'll see tailor-mades

And hand-me-downs

You'll meet honest men

And pick-pockets skilled

You'll find that business never closes

Till somebody gets killed

I'd rather be here than anyplace I know

I'd rather be here than anyplace I know

It's gonna take the Sergeant

For to make me go

I'm going to the river

Maybe by and by

I'm going to the river

And there's a reason why

Because the river's wet

And Beale Street's done gone dry

If Beale Street could talk

If 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 be here

Than anyplace I know than anyplace I know

I'd rather be here be here

Than anyplace I know than anyplace I know

It's gonna take the Sergeant

For to make me go

I'm goin' to the river river

Maybe by and by maybe by and by

Yes I'm goin' to the river the river and

There's a reason why

There's a reason why

Because the river's wet

Beale Street's done gone dry
