Beale Street Blues - Louis Armstrong
Written by：William Christopher Handy
You'll see pretty browns
In beautiful gowns
You'll see tailor mades
And hand me downs
You'll meet honest men
And pick pockets skilled
You'll find that business never closes
Till somebody gets killed
If Beale Street could talk
If 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
He said
I'd rather be here
Than any place I know
Yes I'd rather be here
Than any place I know
It's gonna take the sergeant
For to make me go
I'm goin' to the river
Maybe by and by
Yes I'm goin' to the river
And there's a reason why
Because the river's wet
And Beale Street's done gone dry
