《Stone For Bessie Smith》歌词

[00:00:00] Stone For Bessie Smith - Dory Previn

[00:00:15] Isn't it amazing

[00:00:18] Shakes you to the bone

[00:00:21] She bought a stone

[00:00:22] For bessie smith

[00:00:24] She bought bessie smith a stone

[00:00:28] She got it for her grave-site

[00:00:31] On a temporary loan

[00:00:34] But she forgot

[00:00:35] She had not paid

[00:00:38] For her own

[00:00:40] She forgot she had not paid

[00:00:44] She forgot she had not paid

[00:00:48] After all the contracts

[00:00:50] And arrangements had been made

[00:00:55] She went to bessie's grave

[00:00:58] And marked it with a stone

[00:01:01] But she still

[00:01:03] Had to pay for her own

[00:01:11] She went home

[00:01:12] To her class reunion

[00:01:15] Where a class-mate he confessed

[00:01:19] She wouldn't want this getting out

[00:01:21] But she used to be the best

[00:01:25] In school she was a nice girl

[00:01:29] As descent as the rest

[00:01:31] Though she never was

[00:01:34] Conservatively dressed

[00:01:39] Isn't it amazing

[00:01:43] You think she could've known

[00:01:46] She bought a stone

[00:01:47] For bessie smith she bought

[00:01:49] Bessie smith a stone

[00:01:53] She got it for her grave-site

[00:01:56] On a temporary loan

[00:01:59] But she forgot

[00:02:01] She had not paid

[00:02:03] For her own

[00:02:06] She forgot she had not paid

[00:02:10] She forgot she had not paid

[00:02:13] No sooner had the letters

[00:02:16] On the deed begun to fade

[00:02:20] When her ashes had been scattered

[00:02:24] Been battered and been blown

[00:02:27] But she forgot she had not paid

[00:02:32] For her own
