If Beale Street could talk
Beale Street could talk
Married men would have to
Take their beds and walkExcept one or two
Who never drink booze
And the blind man on the corner
Who sings the Beale Street BluesI'd rather be here
Than any place I know
I'd rather be here
Than any place I knowIt's gonna take the sergeant
For to make me goGoin' to the river
Maybe by and by
Goin' to the river
And there's a reason whyBecause the river's wet
And Beale Street's done gone dryGoin' to the river
Maybe by and by
Goin' to the river
And there's a reason whyBecause the river's wet
And Beale Street's done gone dryBecause the river's wet
And Beale Street's done gone dryBecause the river's wet
And Beale Street's done gone dry
