The Memphis Blues (1957)歌词完整版
The Memphis Blues - Eartha Kitt
Folks I've just been down
Down to Memphis town
That's where the people smile
Smile on you all the while
Hospitality they were good to me
I couldn't spend a dime
And had the grandest time
I went out a dancing
With a Tennessee dear
They had a fellow there named Handy
With a band you should hear
And while the dance gently swayed
All the band boys played real harmony
I never will forget the tune
That Handy called the Memphis Blues
They got a fiddler there
That always slickens his hair
And folks he sure does pull some bow
And when the big Bassoon
Seconds to the Trombones croon
It moans just like a sinner
On Revival Day
Hear me people
Hear me people
Hear me I pray
I'm gonna take a million lesson's
'Til I learn how to play
Because I seem to hear it yet
Simply can't forget
That blue refrain
There's nothing like the Handy Band
That played the Memphis Blues so grand
That melancholy strain
That ever haunting refrain
Is like a morning sorrow song
Here comes the very part
That wraps a spell around my heart
I can't forget the tune
That Handy called the Memphis Blues
I can't forget the tune
That Handy called the Memphis
The Memphis Blues
