Bessie Smith - Weeping Willow Blues şarkı sözleri

Sanatçı: Bessie Smith

albüm: The Essential Bessie Smith


I went down to the river
Sat beneath the willow tree
The dew dropped on those willow leaves
And it rolled right down on me
And that's the reason I've got those weeping willow blues
♪
I went up on the mountain
High as any girl could stand
And looked down on the mean town
That took away my lovin' man
And that's the reason I've got those weepin' willow blues
♪
I heard the whistle blowing
The fireman ring the bell
They're taking away that willow tree
That give me this weeping spell
And that's the reason I've got those weeping willow blues
When you're broken hearted and your man is out of town
Go to the river, take the chains and sit down
And if he don't come back to you, I'll tell you what to do
Just jump right overboard, 'cause he ain't no more to you
Folks I love my man
I kiss him morning, noon and night
I wash his clothes and keep him clean
And try to treat him right
Now he's gone and left me after all I tried to do
The way he treats me, girls
He'll do the same, same to you
That's the reason I've got those weepin' willow blues
