Beale Street Blues (Let's Face the Music Complete Edition 1962)

Текст песни Shirley Bassey - Beale Street Blues (Let's Face the Music Complete Edition 1962)

I've seen the lights of gay Broadway
Old Market Street down by the 'Frisco Bay
I've strolled the Prado
I've gambled on the boards
The seven wonders of the world I've seen
And many other places I have been
Take my advice folks and see Beale Street first

You'll see pretty browns in beautiful gowns
You'll see tailor-mades and hand-me-downs
You'll meet honest men and pickpockets skilled
You'll find that business never closes 'til somebody gets killed

If Beale Street could talk
If Beale Street could talk
Married men would take their beds and walk
Except one or two who never drink booze
And the blind man on the corner singing Beale Street Blues

I'd rather be here than any place I know
I'd rather be here than any place I know
It's gonna take the sergeant far to make me go

Goin' to the river maybe by and by
Goin' to the river and there's a reason why
Because the river's wet
And Beale Street's done gone dry
