[00:16.141][Verse 1]
[00:17.263]Old Beale Street is coming down
[00:21.525]Sweeties' Snack Bar boarded up now
[00:24.781]And Egles the Tailor and the Shine Boy's gone
[00:29.314]Faded out with ragtime blues
[00:34.090]Handy's cast in bronze
[00:36.637]And he's standing in a little park with his trumpet in his hand
[00:41.929]Like he's listening back to the good old bands
[00:46.440]And the click of high heeled shoes
[00:46.940]
[00:48.505][Chorus 1]
[00:50.763]Old Furry sings the blues
[00:53.272]Propped up in his bed with his dentures and his leg removed
[00:58.783]And Ginny's there for her kindness and Furry's beer
[01:04.323]She's the old man's angel overseer
[01:05.076]
[01:06.331][Verse 2]
[01:17.108]Pawn shops glitter like gold tooth caps
[01:21.372]In the grey decay
[01:22.630]They chew the last few dollars off old Beale Street's carcass
[01:29.663]Carrion and mercy
[01:34.178]Blue and silver sparkling drums
[01:38.438]Cheap guitars, eye shades and guns
[01:42.450]Aimed at the hot blood of being no one
[01:46.707]Down and out in Memphis Tennessee
[01:47.460]
[01:48.464][Chorus 2]
[01:50.727]Old Furry sings the blues
[01:53.239]You bring him smoke and drink and he'll play for you
[01:59.008]It's mostly muttering now and sideshow spiel
[02:04.268]But there was one song he played I could really feel
[02:05.040]
[02:06.795][Verse 3]
[02:20.352]There's a double bill murder at the New Daisy
[02:24.652]Old girl's silent across the street
[02:28.202]She's silent, waiting for the wrecker's beat
[02:32.459]Silent, staring at her stolen name
[02:37.726]Diamond boys and satin dolls
[02:42.019]Bourbon laughter, ghosts
[02:45.283]History falls to parking lots and shopping malls
[02:50.294]As they tear down old Beale Street
[02:51.044]
[02:52.549][Chorus 3]
[02:53.831]Old Furry sings the blues
[02:56.338]Points a bony finger at you and says, "I don't like you"
[03:02.108]And everybody laughs as if it's the old man's standard joke
[03:06.371]But it's true, we're only welcome for our drink and smoke
[03:12.137]Furry sings the blues, oh, oh, ooh
[03:12.881]
[03:15.139][Verse 4]
[03:19.905]W. C. Handy I'm rich and I'm fey
[03:24.419]And I'm not familiar with what you played
[03:27.424]But I get such strong impressions of your hey day
[03:32.438]Looking up and down old Beale Street
[03:36.694]Ghosts of the darktown society
[03:40.455]Come right out of the bricks at me
[03:44.265]Like it's a Saturday night, they're in their finery
[03:49.600]Dancing it up and making deals
[03:50.100]
[03:51.382][Chorus 4]
[03:53.135]Furry sings the blues
[03:55.895]Why should I expect that old guy to give it to me true
[04:01.908]Fallen to hard luck and time and other thieves
[04:06.678]While our limo is shining on his shanty street
[04:10.988]Old Furry sings the blues
[04:11.816]
[04:12.825][Outro]
[04:23.385]Old Furry sings the blues
[04:29.909]Old Furry sings the blues
[04:35.215]Old Furry sings the blues
[04:43.039]The blues, the blues
[04:52.075]Old Furry sings the, the blues
[04:53.071]
[04:58.084][Spoken]
[05:04.860]Period
[05:04.996]Thank you
[05:19.290]Who wants more drama?
[05:21.344]Period
[05:35.141]Ugh, okay
