Furry Sings The Blues (Concert Version) - The Band[00:00:00]

Old Beale Street is coming down[00:00:15]

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

And Egles The Tailor and the Shine Boy's gone[00:00:24]

Faded out with ragtime blues[00:00:29]

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

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

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

Like he's listening back to the good old bands[00:00:42]

And the click of high heeled shoes[00:00:47]

Old Furry sings the blues[00:00:51]

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

With his dentures and his leg removed[00:00:57]

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

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

She's the old man's angel overseer[00:01:06]

Pawn shops glitter like gold tooth caps[00:01:19]

In the grey decay[00:01:23]

They chew the last few dollars off[00:01:25]

Old Beale Street's carcass[00:01:28]

Carrion and mercy[00:01:32]

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

Cheap guitars eye shades and guns[00:01:42]

Aimed at the hot blood of being no one[00:01:46]

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

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

You bring him smoke and drink and he'll play for you[00:01:58]

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

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

I could really feel[00:02:11]

There's a double bill murder at the New Daisy[00:02:31]

The old girl's silent across the street[00:02:35]

She's silent - waiting for the wrecker's beat[00:02:39]

Silent - staring ar her stolen name[00:02:43]

Diamond boys and satin dolls[00:02:49]

Bourbon laughter- ghosts - history falls[00:02:53]

To parking lots and shopping malls[00:02:58]

As they tear down old Beale Street[00:03:01]

Old Furry sings the blues[00:03:04]

He points a bony finger at you and[00:03:10]

I don't like you[00:03:13]

Everybody laughs as if it's the old man's standard joke[00:03:14]

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

We're only welcome for our drink and smoke[00:03:19]

W C Handy I'm rich and I'm fay[00:03:32]

And I'm not familiar with what you played[00:03:37]

But I get such strong impressions of your hey day[00:03:40]

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[00:03:57]

They're in their finery[00:03:59]

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

Furry sings the blues[00:04:07]

Why should I expect that old guy to give it to me true[00:04:10]

Fallen to hard luck[00:04:15]

And time and other thieves[00:04:17]

While our limo is shining on his shanty street[00:04:21]

Old Furry sings the blues[00:04:24]
