Beale Street Mamma - Bessie Smith (贝西·史密斯)[00:00:00]
Jenny Neale,[00:00:14]
Down in Beale,[00:00:16]
Gave her papa the air;[00:00:19]
Left him cold,[00:00:24]
Got him told,[00:00:27]
Said she didn't care.[00:00:30]
Old Joe, her beau,[00:00:34]
Looked just like he would die;[00:00:39]
If you was near him,[00:00:44]
You would hear him[00:00:48]
Sob his mournful cry:[00:00:50]
Beale Street Papa,[00:00:56]
Why don't you come back home?[00:01:01]
It isn't proper to leave your mama all alone![00:01:07]
Sometimes I was cruel,[00:01:17]
That was true,[00:01:19]
But Papa, you know Mama never two-timed you![00:01:21]
Boo-hoo, I'm blue;[00:01:26]
So how come you do me like you do?[00:01:31]
I'm cryin'![00:01:35]
Beale Street Papa, don't mess around with me![00:01:37]
There's plenty pettin' that[00:01:47]
I can get in Tennessee,[00:01:49]
I'll still get my sweet cooking,[00:01:55]
Constantly,[00:01:59]
But not the kind you served to me,[00:02:01]
So Beale Street Papa, come back home![00:02:06]
So how come you do me like you do?[00:02:49]
I'm cryin'[00:02:52]
Beale Street Papa, don't mess around with me![00:02:53]
There's plenty pettin' that[00:03:04]
I can get in Tennessee,[00:03:06]
I bought a rifle, razor and a knife,[00:03:11]
A full support can't save my life[00:03:17]
So Beale Street Papa,[00:03:21]
Come back home![00:03:25]
