Beale Street Blues-Eartha Kitt

[00:00.00] 作曲 : Handy [00:09.63]I've seen the lights of gay Broadway, [00:10.26]Old Market Street down by the Frisco Bay, [00:12.60]I've strolled the Prado, I've gambled on the Bourse; [00:17.01]The seven wonders of the world I've seen, [00:22.56]And many are the places I have been, [00:25.11]Take my advice, folks, and see Beale Street first! [00:27.18]You'll see pretty browns in beautiful gowns, [00:33.09]You'll see tailor-mades and hand-me-downs, [00:35.31]You'll meet honest men, and pick-pockets skilled, [00:39.84]You'll find that business never ceases 'til somebody gets killed! [01:56.91]If Beale Street could talk, if Beale Street could talk, [02:01.35]Married men would have to take their beds and walk, [02:05.73]Except one or two who never drink booze, [02:09.90]And the blind man on the corner singing "Beale Street Blues!" [02:14.85]I'd rather be there than any place I know, [02:26.28]I'd rather be there than any place I know, [02:35.25]It's gonna take a sergeant for to make me go! [02:41.31]I'm goin' to the river, maybe by and by, [02:49.26]Yes, I'm goin' to the river, maybe by and by, [02:59.13]Because the river's wet, and Beale Street's done gone dry!
