Old beale street is coming down[00:00:19]

Sweeties' snack bar boarded up now[00:00:23]

And egles the tailor and the shine boy's gone[00:00:27]

Faded out with ragtime blues[00:00:32]

Handy's cast in bronze[00:00:37]

And he's standing in a little park[00:00:40]

With a trumpet in his hand[00:00:43]

Like he's listening back to the good old bands[00:00:45]

And the click of high heeled shoes[00:00:50]

Old furry sings the blues[00:00:54]

Propped up in his bed[00:00:57]

With his dentures and his leg removed[00:00:58]

And ginny's there[00:01:03]

For her kindness and furry's beer[00:01:05]

She's the old man's angel overseer[00:01:08]

Pawn shops glitter like gold tooth caps[00:01:21]

In the grey decay[00:01:26]

They chew the last few dollars off[00:01:28]

Old beale street's carcass[00:01:30]

Carrion and mercy[00:01:35]

Blue and silver sparkling drums[00:01:40]

Cheap guitars eye shades and guns[00:01:44]

Aimed at the hot blood of being no one[00:01:49]

Down and out in memphis tennessee[00:01:53]

Old furry sings the blues[00:01:57]

You bring him smoke and drink and he'll play for you[00:02:00]

Lt's mostly muttering now and sideshow spiel[00:02:06]

But there was one song he played[00:02:12]

I could really feel[00:02:14]

There's a double bill murder 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[00:02:35]

Silent - staring ar her stolen name[00:02:41]

Diamond boys and satin dolls[00:02:45]

Bourbon laughter- ghosts - history falls[00:02:52]

To parking lots and shopping malls[00:02:57]

As they tear down old beale street[00:03:01]

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

He points a bony finger at you and[00:03:07]

"i don't like you"[00:03:10]

Everybody laughs as if it's the old man's standard joke[00:03:12]

But it's true[00:03:17]

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

W c handy i'm rich and i'm fay[00:03:31]

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

But i get such strong impressions of your hey day[00:03:39]

Looking up and down old beale street[00:03:45]

Ghosts of the darktown society[00:03:49]

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[00:04:00]

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[00:04:16]

And time and other thieves[00:04:18]

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

Old furry sings the blues[00:04:25]
