Furry Sings The Blues (Live) - Joni Mitchell[00:00:00]

Old Beale Street is coming down[00:00:16]

Sweeties' Snack Bar boarded up now[00:00:20]

And Eagles The Tailor[00:00:24]

And the Shine Boy's gone[00:00:25]

Faded out with ragtime blues[00:00:28]

Handy's cast in bronze and[00:00:34]

He's standing in a little park[00:00:37]

With his trumpet in his hand[00:00:40]

Like he's listening we we back to[00:00:41]

The good old bands[00:00:44]

And the click of high heeled shoes[00:00:46]

Old Furry sings the blues[00:00:50]

Propped up in his bed[00:00:54]

With his dentures and his leg removed[00:00:55]

And Ginny's there for[00:01:00]

Her kindness and Furry's beer[00:01:02]

She's the old man's angel overseer[00:01:05]

Pawn shops glitter like gold tooth caps[00:01:18]

In the grey decay[00:01:23]

They chew the last few dollars off[00:01:24]

Old Beale Street's carcass[00:01:27]

Carrion and mercy[00:01:32]

Blue and silver sparkling drums[00:01:37]

Cheap guitars eye shades and guns[00:01:41]

Aimed at the hot blood of being no one[00:01:45]

Down and out in Memphis Tennessee[00:01:50]

Old Furry sings the blues[00:01:54]

Bring him smoke[00:01:57]

And drink and he'll play for you[00:01:58]

Lt's mostly muttering now[00:02:03]

And sideshow spiel[00:02:06]

But there was one song he played[00:02:09]

I could really feel[00:02:11]

There's a double bill murder[00:02:27]

At the New Daisy[00:02:29]

The old girl's silent across the street[00:02:31]

She's silent waiting for the wrecker's beat[00:02:37]

Silent staring at her stolen name[00:02:41]

Diamond boys and satin dolls[00:02:46]

Bourbon laughter ghosts history falls[00:02:51]

To parking lots and shopping malls[00:02:56]

As they tear down old Beale Street[00:02:59]

Old Furry sings the blues[00:03:03]

He points a bony finger[00:03:06]

At you and says I don't like you[00:03:08]

Everybody laughs as[00:03:13]

If it's the old man's standard joke[00:03:15]

But it's true[00:03:18]

We're only welcome[00:03:19]

For our drink and smoke[00:03:20]

W C Handy I'm rich and I'm fay[00:03:31]

And I'm not familiar with what you played[00:03:36]

But I get such strong impressions[00:03:40]

Of your hey day[00:03:42]

Looking up and down old Beale Street[00:03:45]

Ghosts of the darktown society[00:03:50]

Come right out of the bricks at me[00:03:54]

Like it's a Saturday night[00:03:58]

Everybody fly[00:04:00]

They're in their finery[00:04:02]

Dancing it up and making deals[00:04:03]

Furry sings the blues[00:04:07]

Why should I expect that old guy[00:04:10]

To give it to me true[00:04:12]

Fallen to hard luck[00:04:16]

And time and other thieves[00:04:19]

While our limo is shining[00:04:22]

On his shanty street[00:04:23]

Old Furry sings the blues[00:04:26]
