《Beale Street Mama》歌词

[00:00:00] Beale Street Mama - Bessie Smith (贝西·史密斯)/Her Down Home Trio

[00:00:14] Jenny Neale

[00:00:16] Down in Beale

[00:00:19] Gave her papa the air;

[00:00:24] Left him cold

[00:00:27] Got him told

[00:00:30] Said she didn't care

[00:00:34] Old Joe her beau

[00:00:39] Looked just like he would die;

[00:00:44] If you was near him

[00:00:48] You would hear him

[00:00:50] Sob his mournful cry:

[00:00:56] Beale Street Papa

[00:01:01] Why don't you come back home

[00:01:07] It isn't proper to leave your mama all alone

[00:01:17] Sometimes I was cruel

[00:01:19] That was true

[00:01:21] But Papa you know Mama never two-timed you

[00:01:26] Boo-hoo I'm blue;

[00:01:31] So how come you do me like you do

[00:01:35] I'm cryin'

[00:01:37] Beale Street Papa don't mess around with me

[00:01:47] There's plenty pettin' that

[00:01:49] I can get in Tennessee

[00:01:55] I'll still get my sweet cooking

[00:01:59] Constantly

[00:02:01] But not the kind you served to me

[00:02:06] So Beale Street Papa come back home

[00:02:49] So how come you do me like you do

[00:02:52] I'm cryin'

[00:02:53] Beale Street Papa don't mess around with me

[00:03:04] There's plenty pettin' that

[00:03:06] I can get in Tennessee

[00:03:11] I bought a rifle razor and a knife

[00:03:17] A full support can't save my life

[00:03:21] So Beale Street Papa

[00:03:25] Come back home
