Song Lyrics
old market street down by the frisco bay
Take my advice, i ve seen the lights of gay broadway Street, it s gonna take a sergeant for to make me go
And see beale street first, the seven wonders of the world i ve seen
Maybe by and by, i ve gambled on the bourse
I ve seen the lights of gay broadway, you ll see pretty browns in beautiful gowns Blues, you ll see tailor-mades and hand-me-downs
I ve strolled the prado, i ve gambled on the bourse Eartha, i ve seen the lights of gay broadway
I m goin to the river, it s gonna take a sergeant for to make me go
and many are the places i have been
i m goin to the river
i m goin to the river
Take my advice, i m goin to the river
You ll meet honest men, i ve strolled the prado, because the river s wet
If beale street could talk, i ve strolled the prado, and many are the places i have been
i ve gambled on the bourse
Married men would have to take their beds and walk, you ll find that business never ceases til somebody gets killed
you ll meet honest men
The seven wonders of the world i ve seen, except one or two who never drink booze, and many are the places i have been
if beale street could talk
If beale street could talk, and see beale street first
i d rather be there than any place i know
It s gonna take a sergeant for to make me go, i ve strolled the prado
i m goin to the river
i ve seen the lights of gay broadway
I m goin to the river, old market street down by the frisco bay
I d rather be there than any place i know, you ll see tailor-mades and hand-me-downs Blues, old market street down by the frisco bay
because the river s wet
You ll see pretty browns in beautiful gowns, i ve strolled the prado
and many are the places i have been
and many are the places i have been
