《Black Rose》歌词

[00:00:00] Black Rose - Black 47

[00:00:15] Mister Frankie Diamond was my best friend

[00:00:17] We were partners in a business down on C and 7th

[00:00:20] Nothin' ever got this good brother down

[00:00:23] He was a real live wire in an electric town

[00:00:25] Frankie started hangin' with an uptown girl

[00:00:29] A Harlem lady in the social whirl

[00:00:31] On Saturday night he'd put on his best clothes

[00:00:34] And go out steppin' with his Black Rose

[00:00:41] Now Frankie went upstate for a couple of years

[00:00:44] A guest of the nation and he was in tears

[00:00:47] He called me up he said "Hey friend of mine

[00:00:50] I got one favor to ask you while I'm doin' my time"

[00:00:53] She's the Queen of New York City

[00:00:56] She bewitch all men soul

[00:00:58] She the blood that flow right through me

[00:01:01] So don't be messin' with my Black Rose

[00:01:04] Keep your hands off my Black Rose

[00:01:06] My Black Rose he don't own ya

[00:01:20] While Frankie was upstate his Harlem girl

[00:01:22] Continued to spiral in her social whirl

[00:01:25] So I paged her from my gig on East 7th I said

[00:01:28] "Hey babe you doin' anythin' 'round about 11 "

[00:01:30] She said "Uh uh" in her uptown voice

[00:01:34] So we met at Beirut for cocktails and ice

[00:01:36] When she crossed that room in her tight red dress

[00:01:39] I wasn't thinkin' of Frankie I have to confess

[00:01:47] She said "Hey best friend let's go back to my place

[00:01:50] I need to fix my mascara and remodel my face"

[00:01:52] But it rained on the way back to her house

[00:01:55] And when she closed the door she took off her blouse

[00:01:58] She's the Queen of New York City

[00:02:01] She bewitch all men soul

[00:02:03] Next thing I know I'm whisperin' sweet nothin's

[00:02:06] Lyin' in bed with my Black Rose

[00:02:09] I'm makin' love to my Black

[00:02:10] My Black Rose he don't own ya

[00:02:16] So stay with me tonight

[00:02:47] At nights I'd lie there and listen to her breathe

[00:02:49] With the sweat on my brow

[00:02:51] How could she sleep

[00:02:52] So deep so sweet as calm as a rock

[00:02:55] While I pushed back the seconds oozing from the clock

[00:02:57] Now the letters I wrote Frankie returned unread

[00:03:00] The word leaked out I'd be better off dead

[00:03:03] But in the crimson dawn Black Rose would unfold

[00:03:06] And drain all the poison from my soul

[00:03:14] Now I'm standin' up here on forty deuce

[00:03:16] Another terminal man waitin' for his bus

[00:03:20] Here come Frankie with his head all shaved

[00:03:22] Is that a piece in his pocket or is it a blade

[00:03:25] Now I'm lyin' face down in the terminal dirt

[00:03:27] With a hole in my chest but I don't feel no hurt

[00:03:30] I don't wanna go to heaven I been there before

[00:03:33] Just spent two years in paradise with my Black Rose

[00:03:36] She's the Queen of New York City

[00:03:39] She bewitch all men soul

[00:03:41] When you go and find her body

[00:03:44] Bury me next to my Black Rose

[00:03:47] Still in love with my Black Rose

[00:03:49] She's up in heaven now my Black Rose

[00:03:52] You won't be makin' love to my Black

[00:03:54] My Black Rose he don't own ya

[00:03:59] So stay with me tonight for the rest of your life

[00:04:16] Roisin Dubh me no can get over you

[00:04:19] A time is in me mind no matter what I do

[00:04:21] Roisin Dubh me no can get over you

[00:04:24] Now Frankie comin' back and I know that I am through

[00:04:27] Mister Frankie Diamond tell me do the right thing

[00:04:30] Watch his girl while he away at Sing Sing

[00:04:33] But me and Rosie we have a little fling

[00:04:35] Now Frankie comin' home wicked trouble it will bring

[00:04:39] Wicked trouble it will bring
