Cahoots:\u00a0 Shelene Gotleib<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve seen the lights of gay Broadway<\/span>
\nOld Market Street down by the Frisco Bay<\/span>
\nI’ve strolled the Prado, I’ve gambled on the Bourse;<\/span>
\nThe seven wonders of the world I’ve seen<\/span>
\nAnd many are the places I have been<\/span>
\nTake my advice, folks, and see Beale Street first!<\/span><\/p>\n

You’ll see pretty browns in beautiful gowns<\/span>
\nYou’ll see tailor-mades and hand-me-downs<\/span>
\nYou’ll meet honest men, and pick-pockets skilled<\/span>
\nYou’ll find that business never ceases ’til somebody gets killed!<\/span><\/p>\n

If Beale Street could talk, if Beale Street could talk<\/span>
\nMarried men would have to take their beds and walk<\/span>
\nExcept one or two who never drink booze<\/span>
\nAnd the blind man on the corner singing “Beale Street Blues!”<\/span><\/p>\n

I’d rather be there than any place I know<\/span>
\nI’d rather be there than any place I know<\/span>
\nIt’s gonna take a sergeant for to make me go!<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m goin’ to the river, maybe by and by<\/span>
\nYes, I’m goin’ to the river, maybe by and by<\/span>
\nBecause the river’s wet, and Beale Street’s done gone dry!<\/span><\/p>\n
