Ella Fitzgerald (埃拉·菲茨杰拉德)-歌词

The Memphis Blues - Dinah Shore (黛娜岸)/Benny Goodman (本尼·古得曼)/Ella Fitzgerald (埃拉·菲茨杰拉德)

Honey I've been down

Down to Memphis town

Where the people smile

On you all the while

Hospitality

They were good to me

Couldn't spend a dime

Had the grandest time

I went out a dancing with a tennessee dear

A fellow there named

Handy with a band you should hear

While the gently swayed

All them darkiest played real harmony

I never will forget the tune that

Handy called the Memphis blues

They've got a fiddler there

That always slickens his hair

Oh Lord he how he pulls on his bow

When you hear the tune

Listen to the trombones croon

It moans just like a sinner on revival day

That melancholy strain

That ever haunting refrain

Is like a darkly morning in a song

Here comes the very part

Wraps spell around my heart

It sets me wild to hear that loving tune again

That melancholy strain that ever haunting refrain

Is like a darkly morning in a song

Here comes the very part

Wraps spell around my heart

It sets me wild to hear that loving tune again

The Memphis blues
