《J.C. Holmes Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] JC Holmes Blues - Bessie Smith

[00:00:07] Listen people if you want to hear

[00:00:14] A story told about a brave engineer

[00:00:21] J C Holmes was the rider's name

[00:00:27] A heavyweight wheelman with a might fame

[00:00:35] JC said with a smile so fine

[00:00:42] "Woman gets tired o' one man at a time

[00:00:48] Get two or three if you have to hide

[00:00:55] If the train go an' leave you got a mule to ride"

[00:01:03] In the second cabin sat Miss Alice Bry

[00:01:10] Goin' to ride with J C or die

[00:01:17] "I ain't good lookin' and I don't dress fine

[00:01:22] But I'm a ramblin' woman with a ramblin' mind"

[00:01:31] Just then the conductor hollered "All aboard"

[00:01:38] And the porter said "We got our load

[00:01:45] Look a-here son we oughta be gone

[00:01:51] I feel like ridin' if it's all night long"

[00:01:59] JC said just before he died

[00:02:06] Two more roads he wanted to ride

[00:02:13] Everybody wondered what road it could be

[00:02:18] He said "The Southern Pacific and The Santa Fe"

[00:02:27] J C said "I don't feel right

[00:02:34] I saw my girl with a man last night

[00:02:41] Soon as I get enough steam just right

[00:02:47] I've been mistreated and I don't mind dyin'"
