《The Basement Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] The Basement Blues - Rosa Henderson

[00:00:17] The man I love

[00:00:22] Got lowdown ways for true

[00:00:28] The man I love

[00:00:30] Got lowdown ways for true

[00:00:38] Well I am hincty

[00:00:41] And I'm lowdown too

[00:00:48] He don't he can't

[00:00:53] Hang round with dicty cats

[00:00:58] Don't go gay-cattin'

[00:01:01] 'Round in Buffet Flats

[00:01:08] We like our basement

[00:01:11] And our basement rats

[00:01:18] He ain't no honky

[00:01:23] Gee I ain't tryin' to be

[00:01:28] He ain't no honky

[00:01:31] I ain't tryin' to be

[00:01:38] So you can't make no

[00:01:41] Honky out of me

[00:01:48] For I was goin' lowdown away

[00:01:56] Down in the low ground

[00:01:58] Everyday I get low as a toad

[00:02:02] My home ain't here

[00:02:04] It's farther down the road

[00:02:07] Down in dear old Mississippi

[00:02:09] All my folks is there

[00:02:12] And colored folks can't come much

[00:02:14] Lower than that

[00:02:16] My pappy's name is Low

[00:02:18] Mr B Low if you please

[00:02:21] And he can kiss my mammy without

[00:02:23] Bending his knees

[00:02:25] So you keep your attic

[00:02:30] Take the roof

[00:02:31] Or the air if you choose

[00:02:35] Just keep your attic

[00:02:38] Take the air if you choose

[00:02:44] But my mind is out for

[00:02:47] Raising with the basement blues
