Bluesman (蓝调演奏者) (LP版) - Harry Chapin[00:00:00]

The kid heard the word up in Brooklyn[00:00:14]

It was his second year of medical school[00:00:17]

He went and stashed some jeans into his guitar case[00:00:20]

His father said You're a fool[00:00:23]

But the boy jumped on board a Greyhound bus[00:00:26]

It took him two days to get to Mobile[00:00:29]

And though it took two weeks to track the old man down[00:00:32]

He never doubted that the rumor was real[00:00:36]

But there the old man stood by the store front[00:00:40]

With his white cane hanging from his belt[00:00:43]

And he was bending the steel of his guitar strings[00:00:47]

So it seemed like the metal had to melt[00:00:50]

He was the last of the street corner singers[00:00:53]

Paying his final years of dues[00:00:56]

The voice in his throat was like a bullfrog croak[00:00:59]

Yes it's he who invented the blues[00:01:03]

To play the blues boy you got to live 'em[00:01:09]

Got your dues boy you know you got to give 'em[00:01:12]

Got to start sweet like a slow blues rhythm[00:01:15]

Like a heartbeat you'll always be with 'em[00:01:17]

When you're married to the blues boy[00:01:21]

Your guitar is your wife[00:01:24]

It's like that fine old woman[00:01:27]

Who you're faithful to for life[00:01:30]

Well the kid walked up as the blind man finished[00:01:35]

And was bent to put his guitar away[00:01:39]

The old man heard him and said Who are you[00:01:41]

I'm the kid you're gonna teach to play[00:01:44]

The old man laughed but the kid kept talking 'bout[00:01:48]

How he'd help him get around[00:01:51]

That's when the old man said[00:01:53]

I don't need no fool to get me where in the hell I'm bound[00:01:55]

The kid nods his head with a great big grin and says[00:02:06]

When do we begin[00:02:11]

That's when the old man said[00:02:14]

If You're staying with me[00:02:15]

This is how it's got to be[00:02:17]

To play the blues boy you got to live 'em[00:02:20]

Got your dues boy you know you got to give 'em[00:02:23]

Got to start sweet like a slow blues rhythm[00:02:27]

Like a heartbeat you'll always be with 'em[00:02:29]

When you're married to the blues boy[00:02:32]

Your guitar is your wife[00:02:35]

It's like that fine old woman[00:02:38]

Who you're faithful to for life[00:02:41]

You know I ain't no guru[00:02:47]

I'm just a blind black preacher man[00:02:49]

My guitar is my gospel boy[00:02:53]

And I preach with my picking hand[00:02:56]

I ain't gonna be your wet nurse[00:02:59]

Or black father to an albino son[00:03:02]

That's OK the kid up and say[00:03:05]

I just want to pick like a son of a gun[00:03:08]

Whoa boy that ain't no damn typewriter you're playing now[00:03:12]

You've got to caress it like a woman slow and easy[00:03:16]

Like this old man[00:03:20]

No A fool plays the blues like Machine Gun Kelly[00:03:24]

Five hundred notes to the bar[00:03:28]

And if you're going to stick with me[00:03:31]

You've got to learn what the blues really are[00:03:34]

You learn to pick with me and you can stick with me[00:03:37]

But it's time to blow this town[00:03:40]

We gots a gig to preach in a gaming house[00:03:43]

We're Alabama bound[00:03:46]

So the kid took the hand of the old blues man[00:03:49]

To lead him all around the south[00:03:52]

Now it's the old man's turn to make the white boy learn[00:03:55]

You don't play guitar with your mouth[00:03:58]

To play the blues boy you got to live 'em[00:04:03]

Got your dues boy you know you got to give 'em[00:04:06]

Got to start sweet like a slow blues rhythm[00:04:10]

Like a heartbeat you'll always be with 'em[00:04:12]

When you're married to the blues boy[00:04:15]

Your guitar is your wife[00:04:19]

It's like that fine old woman[00:04:22]

Who you're faithful to for life[00:04:25]

All right son let's hear some guitar[00:04:30]

I want you to play it funky like your uncle's carbuncle[00:04:36]

That's right son play it sassy like your sweet mama's pajamas[00:04:43]

That sounds pretty good for a New York boy[00:04:52]
