Verse

Old Beale street is coming down

Sweetie's snack bar boarded up know

And there goes the tailor, and the shine boy's gone

Faded out with rag time blues

Handy's cast in bronze

And he's standing in a little park

With his trumpet in his hand like he's listening back

To the good old days, and the kick of high-heeled shoes

Furry sings the blues

Laughing, smoking, drinking he'll play for you

It's mostly muttering now, and side show spiel

But there was one song he played I could really feel

Link to next verse :

Then on to verse 2

Structure is the same all the way through.

Song ends with repeated pattern of Cadd2 and Cadd2add4

Enjoy !

Howard
