Farewell to Storyville — текст песни (Billie Holiday)

Clarence williams



All, you old-time queens, from new orleans, who lived in storyville

You sang the blues, try to amuse, heres how they pay the bill

The law step-in and call it sin to have a little fun

The police car has made a stop and storyville is done

Pick out your steamboat, pick yourself a train

- a slo-ow train

Pick out your steamboat, pick yourself a train

- a slo-ow train

They made you close-up theyll never let you back

- wont let you back

Go buy your ticket or else you walk the track



No use complaining, blue skys folow rain

- the cold-old rain

No use complaining, blue skys folow rain

- the cold-old rain

Just say farewell now and get your one last thrill

- your one last thrill

Just say farewell now, farewell to storyville



No use complaining, blue skys folow rain

- the cold-old rain

Just say farewell now, farewell to storyville



Just say farewell now and get your one last thrill

- your one last thrill

Just say farewell now, farewell to storyville
