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

Everybody wants to know[00:00:26]

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

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

Why I sing the blues[00:00:38]

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[00:00:53]

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

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

And everybody wanna know[00:00:59]

Why I sing the blues[00:01:02]

Well, I've been around a long time[00:01:07]

Mm, I've really paid my dues[00:01:10]

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

Cold and numb[00:01:18]

I heard the rats tell the bedbugs[00:01:20]

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[00:01:35]

I stood in line[00:01:40]

Down at the County Hall[00:01:43]

I heard a man say, "We're gonna build[00:01:44]

Some new apartments for y'all"[00:01:47]

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]

Now I'm gonna play Lucille.[00:02:02]

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[00:02:33]

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

And everybody wanna know[00:02:37]

Everybody wanna know[00:02:40]

Why I'm singing the blues[00:02:41]

I say I've been around a long time[00:02:45]

Yes, I've really paid some dues[00:02:48]

Yeah, you know the company told me[00:02:52]

Guess you're born to lose[00:02:56]

Everybody around me, people[00:02:58]

It seems like everybody got the blues[00:03:00]

But I had 'em a long time[00:03:02]

I've really, really paid my dues[00:03:05]

You know I ain't ashamed of it, people[00:03:09]

I just love to sing my blues[00:03:12]

I walk through the cities, people[00:03:42]

On my bare feet[00:03:44]

I had a fill of catfish and chitterlings[00:03:46]

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

You know I'm singing the blues[00:03:50]

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[00:04:01]

Now Father Time is catching up with me[00:04:05]

Gone is my youth[00:04:08]

I look in the mirror everyday[00:04:10]

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

I'm singing the blues[00:04:15]

Mm, I just have to sing the blues[00:04:18]

I've been around a long time[00:04:22]

Yes, yes, I've really paid some dues[00:04:25]

Yeah, they told me everything[00:04:54]

Would be better out in the country[00:04:56]

Everything was fine[00:04:58]

I caught me a bus uptown, baby[00:05:00]

And every people, all the people[00:05:03]

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

I got the blues, huh huh[00:05:07]

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

I've really paid some dues[00:05:15]

One more time, fellows![00:05:16]

Blind man on the corner[00:05:19]

Begging for a dime[00:05:21]

The rollers come and caught him[00:05:23]

And throw him in the jail for a crime[00:05:25]

I got the blues[00:05:28]

Mm, I'm singing my blues[00:05:31]

I've been around a long time[00:05:35]

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

Can we do just one more?[00:05:40]

Oh I thought I'd go down to the welfare[00:05:43]

To get myself some grits and stuff[00:05:45]

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[00:05:55]

I say, I've been around a long time[00:05:59]

I've really, really paid my dues[00:06:02]

Fellows, tell them one more time.[00:06:05]
