Beale Street Blues (Insrumental) - Alberta Hunter

If Beale Street could talk

Beale Street could talk

Married men would have to

Take their beds and walk

Except one or two

Who never drink booze

And the blind man on the corner

Who sings the Beale Street Blues

I’d rather be here

Than any place I know

I’d rather be here

Than any place I know

It’s gonna take the sergeant

For to make me go

Goin' to the river

Maybe by 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 and by

Goin' to the river

And there’s a reason 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 done gone dry
