《Beale Street Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] Beale Street Blues - Lena Horne (莲纳·荷恩)

[00:00:00] Written by：Lena Horne

[00:00:17] I've seen the lights of gay Broadway

[00:00:26] Old Market Street down by the Frisco Bay

[00:00:33] I've strolled the Prado I've gambled on the Bourse;

[00:00:43] The seven wonders of the world I've seen

[00:00:51] And many are the places I have been

[00:00:59] Take my advice folks and see Beale Street first

[00:01:07] You'll see pretty browns in beautiful gowns

[00:01:11] You'll see tailor-mades and hand-me-downs

[00:01:16] You'll meet honest men and pick-pockets skilled

[00:01:20] You'll find that business never ceases 'til somebody gets killed

[00:01:24] If Beale Street could talk if Beale Street could talk

[00:01:28] Married men would have to take their beds and walk

[00:01:33] Except one or two who never drink booze

[00:01:37] And the blind man on the corner singing "Beale Street Blues "

[00:01:58] I'd rather be there than any place I know

[00:02:06] I'd rather be there than any place I know

[00:02:15] It's gonna take a sergeant for to make me go

[00:02:24] I'm goin' to the river maybe by and by

[00:02:32] Yes I'm goin' to the river maybe by and by

[00:02:41] Because the river's wet and Beale Street's done gone dry
