Why I Sing The Blues - B.B. King (雷利·金)[00:00:00]

Written by：Unknown[00:00:00]

Everybody wants to know[00:00:25]

Why I sing the blues[00:00:29]

Yes I say everybody wanna know[00:00:33]

Why I sing the blues[00:00:37]

Well I've been around a long time[00:00:42]

I really have paid my dues[00:00:45]

When I first got the blues[00:00:50]

They brought me over on a ship[00:00:52]

Men were standing over me[00:00:55]

And a lot more with a whip[00:00:57]

And everybody wanna know[00:00:58]

Why I sing the blues[00:01:01]

Well I've been around a long time[00:01:06]

Mm I've really paid my dues[00:01:09]

I've laid in a ghetto flat[00:01:15]

Cold and numb[00:01:17]

I heard the rats tell the bedbugs[00:01:19]

To give the roaches some[00:01:22]

Everybody wanna know[00:01:24]

Why I'm singing the blues[00:01:27]

Yes I've been around a long time[00:01:31]

People I've paid my dues[00:01:34]

I stood in line[00:01:39]

Down at the county hall[00:01:42]

I heard a man say we're gonna build[00:01:44]

Some new apartments for y'all[00:01:46]

And everybody wanna know[00:01:48]

Yes they wanna know[00:01:51]

Why I'm singing the blues[00:01:52]

Yes I've been around a long long time[00:01:56]

Yes I've really really paid my dues[00:01:59]

I'm gonna play Lucille[00:02:01]

My kid's gonna grow up[00:02:29]

Gonna grow up to be a fool[00:02:31]

'Cause they ain't got no more room[00:02:32]

No more room for him in school[00:02:35]

And everybody wanna know[00:02:37]

Everybody wanna know[00:02:39]

Why I'm singing the blues[00:02:40]

I say I've been around a long time[00:02:44]

Yes I've really paid some dues[00:02:47]

Yeah you know the company told me[00:02:51]

Guess you're born to lose[00:02:55]

Everybody around me people[00:02:57]

It seems like everybody got the blues[00:02:59]

But I had them a long time[00:03:01]

I've really really paid my dues[00:03:04]

You know I ain't ashamed of it people[00:03:08]

I just love to sing my blues[00:03:11]

I walk through the cities people[00:03:41]

On my bare feet[00:03:43]

I had a fill of catfish and chitterlings[00:03:45]

Up and down Beal Street[00:03:48]

You know I'm singing the blues[00:03:49]

Yes I really[00:03:53]

I just have to sing my blues[00:03:54]

I've been around a long time[00:03:58]

People I've really really paid my dues[00:04:00]

Now father time is catching up with me[00:04:05]

Gone is my youth[00:04:08]

I look in the mirror everyday[00:04:09]

And let it tell me the truth[00:04:12]

I'm singing the blues[00:04:14]

Mm I just have to sing the blues[00:04:17]

I've been around a long time[00:04:21]

Yes yes I've really paid some dues[00:04:24]

Yeah they told me everything[00:04:53]

Would be better out in the country[00:04:55]

Everything was fine[00:04:57]

I caught me a bus uptown baby[00:04:59]

And every people all the people[00:05:02]

Got the same trouble as mine[00:05:04]

I got the blues huh huh[00:05:06]

I say I've been around a long time[00:05:10]

I've really paid some dues[00:05:14]

One more time fellows[00:05:16]

Blind man on the corner[00:05:18]

Begging for a dime[00:05:21]

The rollers come and caught him[00:05:22]

And throw him in the jail for a crime[00:05:24]

I got the blues[00:05:28]

Mm I'm singing my blues[00:05:30]

I've been around a long time[00:05:34]

Mm I've really paid some dues[00:05:37]

Can we do just one more[00:05:39]

Oh I thought I'd go down to the welfare[00:05:42]

To get myself some grits and stuff[00:05:44]

But a lady stand up and she said[00:05:47]

You haven't been around long enough[00:05:49]

That's why I got the blues[00:05:51]

Mm the blues[00:05:54]

I say I've been around a long time[00:05:58]

I've really really paid my dues[00:06:01]

Tell them one more time[00:06:05]
