《Suffer To Sing The Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] Suffer To Sing The Blues - David Bromberg

[00:00:14] I sat in on a poker game

[00:00:17] Last Friday night

[00:00:20] I won a couple hands people

[00:00:23] I was doing all right

[00:00:25] I bet my money on a straight

[00:00:29] From the nine up to the King

[00:00:32] But when the dealer showed his hand

[00:00:35] He had the same damn thing

[00:00:37] It seems I always lose

[00:00:40] You've got to suffer

[00:00:43] If you want to sing the blues

[00:00:49] You know some times I play the horses

[00:00:53] But it seems I never win

[00:00:56] I went out to the races late last week again

[00:01:01] This time I won three hundred dollars

[00:01:05] But as I left the track

[00:01:07] Some greasy man come up behind me

[00:01:11] Stuck a gun in my back

[00:01:13] It seems I always lose

[00:01:16] You've got to suffer

[00:01:18] If you want to sing the blues

[00:02:01] I've got a sweet little girl

[00:02:04] Called run-around Sue

[00:02:08] She's kind of rank looking

[00:02:10] But she knows how to do

[00:02:13] Well now old Sue she's got a boyfriend

[00:02:16] They call him Gentleman Jim

[00:02:19] I said Listen Susan sweetheart

[00:02:22] Choose me or him

[00:02:25] And she said You lose

[00:02:28] You've got to suffer if you want to sing the blues

[00:02:36] Well you can sing a happy song

[00:02:40] If you're glad (if you're glad)

[00:02:43] You can sing a protest song

[00:02:46] If you're mad (if you're mad)

[00:02:49] Ah but if you want to sing the blues

[00:02:55] Then boy you'd better learn how to lose

[00:02:59] It seems like

[00:03:00] I have had these same old blues now

[00:03:05] Since old time began

[00:03:08] So I went to talk my troubles to the hoodoo man

[00:03:13] I told him all about my problem

[00:03:16] And I asked him what was wrong

[00:03:19] He said you got to live the blues

[00:03:22] If you want to sing your song

[00:03:25] Seems like I'll always lose

[00:03:28] You've got to suffer

[00:03:30] If you want to sing the blues

[00:03:36] Well you can sing a happy song

[00:03:40] If you're glad (if you're glad)

[00:03:43] You can sing a protest song

[00:03:46] If you're mad (if you're mad)

[00:03:49] Ah but if you want to sing the blues

[00:03:55] Then boy you better learn how to lose

[00:03:59] I went and bought myself a lottery ticket

[00:04:05] Just to change my luck

[00:04:07] I thought I wouldn't mind the losing

[00:04:10] Cause it only cost a buck

[00:04:13] I won an electric poster

[00:04:16] And a baritone sax

[00:04:19] But I had to pawn my cloth

[00:04:22] Just to pay off the tax

[00:04:25] It seems I always lose

[00:04:27] You've got to suffer if you want to

[00:04:31] I always lose

[00:04:33] You've got to suffer if you want

[00:04:37] How come I always lose

[00:04:39] You've got to suffer

[00:04:41] If you want to sing the blues
