《Weeping Willow Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] Weeping Willow Blues - Bessie Smith (贝西·史密斯)

[00:00:12] I went down to the river sat beneath the willow tree;

[00:00:24] The dew dropped on those willow leaves and it rolled right down on me

[00:00:34] And that's the reason I've got those weepin' willow blues

[00:00:57] I went up on the mountain high as any girl could stand

[00:01:08] And looked down on the mean town that took away my lovin' man

[00:01:19] And that's the reason I've got those weepin' willow blues

[00:01:42] I heard the whistle blowin' the fireman ring the bell

[00:01:54] They're takin' away that willow tree that give me this weepin' spell

[00:02:03] And that's the reason I've got those weepin' willow blues

[00:02:16] When you're broken hearted and your man is out of town

[00:02:21] Go to the river take the chains and sit down

[00:02:26] And if he don't come back to you I'll tell you what to do;

[00:02:31] Just jump right overboard 'cause he ain't no more to you

[00:02:37] Folks I love my man I kiss him mornin' noon and night

[00:02:42] I wash his clothes and keep him clean and try to treat him right

[00:02:47] Now he's gone and left me after all I tried to do;

[00:02:52] The way he treats me girls he'll do the same to you

[00:02:58] That's the reason I've got those weepin' willow blues
