Weeping Willow Blues - Bessie Smith (贝西·史密斯)[00:00:01]
Written by:P. Carter[00:00:03]
I went down to the river[00:00:12]
Sat beneath the willow tree[00:00:18]
The dew dropped on those willow leaves[00:00:24]
And it rolled right down on me[00:00:28]
And that's the reason I've got those weepin' willow blues[00:00:34]
I went up on the mountain[00:00:56]
High as any girl could stand[00:01:02]
And looked down on the mean town[00:01:07]
That took away my lovin' man[00:01:12]
And that's the reason[00:01:17]
I've got those weepin' willow blues[00:01:20]
I heard the whistle blowin'[00:01:40]
The fireman ring the bell[00:01:46]
They're takin' away that willow tree[00:01:51]
That give me this weepin' spell[00:01:56]
And that's the reason[00:02:01]
I've got those weepin' willow blues[00:02:03]
When you're broken hearted[00:02:13]
And your man is out of town[00:02:15]
Go to the river[00:02:18]
Take the chains and sit down[00:02:20]
And if he don't come back to you[00:02:23]
I'll tell you what to do[00:02:25]
Just jump right overboard 'cause he ain't no more to you[00:02:28]
Folks I love my man I kiss him mornin' noon and night[00:02:33]
I wash his clothes and keep him clean[00:02:38]
And try to treat him right[00:02:41]
Now he's gone and left me after all I tried to do[00:02:43]
The way he treats me girls[00:02:48]
He'll do the same thing to you[00:02:50]
That's the reason[00:02:54]
I've got those weepin' willow blues[00:02:57]
