Sing Sing Prison Blues - Bessie Smith (贝西·史密斯)[00:00:00]
Gonna journey up the Hudson[00:00:02]
Goin' on a lonesome trail[00:00:07]
Gonna journey up the Hudson[00:00:15]
Goin' on a lonesome trail[00:00:19]
They can put me in the Death House[00:00:27]
Or keep me in the Sing Sing Jail[00:00:31]
I wrote and asked the warden[00:00:40]
Why they called the jail the Sing Sing[00:00:43]
I wrote and asked the warden[00:00:52]
Why the called the jail the Sing Sing[00:00:56]
He said "Stand here by this rock pile[00:01:04]
And listen to them hammers ring"[00:01:08]
He turns in the court house[00:01:16]
Papers sellin' for fifty cents[00:01:20]
He turns in the court house[00:01:28]
Papers sellin' for fifty cents[00:01:32]
All the judge tryin' to tell me[00:01:39]
My lawyer's pleadin' self defense[00:01:43]
The judge said “Listen Bessie[00:01:52]
Tell me why you killed your man”[00:01:55]
The judge said “Listen Bessie[00:02:04]
Tell me why you killed your man”[00:02:07]
I said “Judge you ain't no woman[00:02:16]
And you can't understand”[00:02:19]
You can send me up the river[00:02:27]
Or send me to that mean old jail[00:02:31]
You can send me up the river[00:02:39]
Or send me to that mean old jail[00:02:42]
I killed my man and I don't need no bail[00:02:51]
