点击复制Why I Sing The Blues - B.B. King (雷利·金)
Written by：Unknown
Everybody wants to know
Why I sing the blues
Yes I say everybody wanna know
Why I sing the blues
Well I've been around a long time
I really have paid my dues
When I first got the blues
They brought me over on a ship
Men were standing over me
And a lot more with a whip
And everybody wanna know
Why I sing the blues
Well I've been around a long time
Mm I've really paid my dues
I've laid in a ghetto flat
Cold and numb
I heard the rats tell the bedbugs
To give the roaches some
Everybody wanna know
Why I'm singing the blues
Yes I've been around a long time
People I've paid my dues
I stood in line
Down at the county hall
I heard a man say we're gonna build
Some new apartments for y'all
And everybody wanna know
Yes they wanna know
Why I'm singing the blues
Yes I've been around a long long time
Yes I've really really paid my dues
I'm gonna play Lucille
My kid's gonna grow up
Gonna grow up to be a fool
'Cause they ain't got no more room
No more room for him in school
And everybody wanna know
Everybody wanna know
Why I'm singing the blues
I say I've been around a long time
Yes I've really paid some dues
Yeah you know the company told me
Guess you're born to lose
Everybody around me people
It seems like everybody got the blues
But I had them a long time
I've really really paid my dues
You know I ain't ashamed of it people
I just love to sing my blues
I walk through the cities people
On my bare feet
I had a fill of catfish and chitterlings
Up and down Beal Street
You know I'm singing the blues
Yes I really
I just have to sing my blues
I've been around a long time
People I've really really paid my dues
Now father time is catching up with me
Gone is my youth
I look in the mirror everyday
And let it tell me the truth
I'm singing the blues
Mm I just have to sing the blues
I've been around a long time
Yes yes I've really paid some dues
Yeah they told me everything
Would be better out in the country
Everything was fine
I caught me a bus uptown baby
And every people all the people
Got the same trouble as mine
I got the blues huh huh
I say I've been around a long time
I've really paid some dues
One more time fellows
Blind man on the corner
Begging for a dime
The rollers come and caught him
And throw him in the jail for a crime
I got the blues
Mm I'm singing my blues
I've been around a long time
Mm I've really paid some dues
Can we do just one more
Oh I thought I'd go down to the welfare
To get myself some grits and stuff
But a lady stand up and she said
You haven't been around long enough
That's why I got the blues
Mm the blues
I say I've been around a long time
I've really really paid my dues
Tell them one more time
