Beale Street Blues |
| If Beale Street could talk |
| Beale Street could talk |
| Married men would have to |
| Take their beds and walk |
| Except one or two |
| Who never drink booze |
| And the blind man on the corner |
| Who sings the 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 |
| For 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 |
| 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 |
| Because the river’s wet |
| And Beale Street’s done gone dry |
| Because the river’s wet |
| And Beale Street’s done gone dry |
