marion harris - beale street blues lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i’ve seen the lights of g-y broadway
old market street down by the frisco bay
i’ve strolled the prado, i’ve gambled on the bourse
in paris, france

[verse 2]
the seven wonders of the world i’ve seen
and many are the places i have been
take my advice, folks and see beale street first
in memphis, tenneesse

[chorus]
you’ll see pretty browns in beautiful gowns
you’ll see tailor-mades and hand-me-downs
you’ll meet honest men, and pick-pockets sk!lled
you’ll find that business never closes ’til somebody gets k!lled

[verse 3]
i’d rather be here than any place i know
oh, i’d rather be here than any place i know
it’s gonna take the police
for to make me go

[verse 4]
going to the river, baby, by and by
going to the river, and there’s a reason why
because the river’s wet
and beale street’s dry

[verse 5]
going to havana or to montreal
yes, i’m going to havana or to montreal
because i’m europe bred
but this gal want alcohol

[verse 6]
oh, the graveyard is a nasty old place
i say, the graveyard is a nasty old place
they put you on your back
and throw dirt on your face
