[00:09.60]If Beale Street could talk
[00:12.40]If Beale Street could talk
[00:14.61]Married men would have to
[00:16.30]Take their beds and walk
[00:18.70]Except one or two
[00:20.55]Who never drink booze
[00:22.19]And the blind man on the corner
[00:24.17]Who sings the Beale Street Blues
[00:27.35]You'll see pretty browns in beautiful gowns
[00:31.46]You'll see tailor-mades
[00:34.16]And hand-me-downs
[00:35.11]You'll meet honest men
[00:38.39]And pick-pockets skilled
[00:40.58]You'll find that business never closes
[00:43.07]Till somebody gets killed

[01:14.90]Maybe by and by
[01:20.30]I'm going to the river
[01:23.83]And there's a reason why
