unholy modal rounders - beale street blues lyrics

Loading...

[intro]
w.c. handy
i’ve seen the lights of old g+y broadway
market street down by the frisco bay
i saw the prado, i gambled on the bourse in paris, france
the seven wonders of this world i’ve seen
there’s many of the different places i have been
but take my advice, folks, and see beale street once and that’s in memphis, tennessee

[verse 1]
you may have a brown, beautiful gal
wears tailor+mades and do a little hand+me+down
she understands that i got it to spend
and now i’m going up north, i think i need your booze again

[verse 2]
you may have a brown take+off toupée
talk about your whiskеy and your bygone days
be an honest man and big pockеts too
’cause your business never closes, somebody gets you
oh, they get you

[chorus]
if beale street could talk, if beale street could talk
married men would have to pack their bags up and walk
all except for a two that never drink booze
and the blind man on the corner who sings the memphis blues
[post+chorus]
i’d rather be here than any place i know
rather be here than any place i know
and it’s gonna take a sergeant for to make me go (for to make me go)

[outro]
well, we’ll see the river, baby, by and by
see the river as i sip and i’ll tell the reason why
’cause the river is wet and memphis done gone dry, gone dry
