Beale Street Blues Lyrics

Beale Street Blues

If Beale Street could talk

Beale Street could talk

Married men would
have to 

Take their be-eds and walk

Except one or two 

Who
never drink booze

And the blind man on the corner

Who-oo sings the
Beale Street Blues 



I'd rather be here 

Than any pla-ace I
know

I'd rather be here 

Than any place I know-ow

It's gonna
take the sergeant 

For to make me go



Goin' to the river

Maybe by-y and by

Goin' to the river

And there's a reason why

Because the river's wet

And Beale Street's done gone dry



Goin' to the river

Maybe by-y and by

Goin' to the river

And there's a rea-eason why

Because the river's wet

And Beale
Street's done gone dry

Because the river's wet

And Beale Street's
done gone dry

Because the river's wet

And Beale Street's do-one
go-one dry...
