Текст, перевод и аккорды “Furry Sings The Blues”
Old beale street is coming down Sweeties snack bar, boarded up now And egles the tailor and the shine boys gone Faded out with ragtime blues Handys cast in bronze And hes standing in a little park With a trumpet in his hand Like hes listening back to the good old bands And the click of high heeled shoes Old furry sings the blues Propped up in his bed With his dentures and his leg removed And ginnys there For her kindness and furrys beer Shes the old mans angel overseer Pawn shops glitter like gold tooth caps In the grey decay They chew the last few dollars off Old beale streets carcass Carrion and mercy Blue and silver sparkling drums Cheap guitars, eye shades and guns Aimed at the hot blood of being no one Down and out in memphis tennessee Old furry sings the blues You bring him smoke and drink and hell play for you Lts mostly muttering now and sideshow spiel But there was one song he played I could really feel Theres a double bill murder at the new daisy The old girls silent across the street Shes silent - waiting for the wreckers beat Silent - staring ar her stolen name Diamond boys and satin dolls Bourbon laughter- ghosts - history falls To parking lots and shopping malls As they tear down old beale street Old furry sings the blues He points a bony finger at you and "i dont like you" Everybody laughs as if its the old mans standard joke But its true Were only welcome for our drink and smoke W.c. handy Im rich and Im fay And Im not familiar with what you played But I get such strong impressions of your hey day Looking up and down old beale street Ghosts of the darktown society Come right out of the bricks at me Like its a saturday night Theyre in their finery Dancing it up and making deals Furry sings the blues Why should I expect that old guy to give it to me true Fallen to hard luck And time and other thieves While our limo is shining on his shanty street Old furry sings the blues
