billie holiday - farewell to storyville lyrics
clarence williams
all, you old-time queens, from new orleans, who lived in storyville
you sang the blues, try to amuse, here’s how they pay the bill
the law step-in and call it sin to have a little fun
the police car has made a stop and storyville is done
pick out your steamboat, pick yourself a train
– a slo-ow train
pick out your steamboat, pick yourself a train
– a slo-ow train
they made you close-up they’ll never let you back
– won’t let you back
go buy your ticket or else you walk the track
no use complaining, blue sky’s folow rain
– the cold-old rain
no use complaining, blue sky’s folow rain
– the cold-old rain
just say farewell now and get your one last thrill
– your one last thrill
just say farewell now, farewell to storyville
no use complaining, blue sky’s folow rain
– the cold-old rain
just say farewell now, farewell to storyville
just say farewell now and get your one last thrill
– your one last thrill
just say farewell now, farewell to storyville
