Текст песни: Beale Street Blues + перевод

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 there than anyplace I know

Yes, I’d rather be here, than anyplace 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
