Memphis Blues: letras

01 - Just Your Fool

I'm just your fool, can't help myself
I love you baby and no one else
Oh, I ain't crazy; you are my baby
I'm just your fool


I'm just your fool, I must confess
Just to love you, baby, and take your mess
Oh, I ain't lyin'; no use in jivin'
I'm just your fool


Oh, you must be tryin' to drive me crazy
Treatin' me the way you do
I ask you, baby, please have mercy
Let me be happy, too


If you're gonna leave for someone new
Gonna buy me a shotgun and mess with you
I ain't lyin'; no use in jivin'
I'm just your fool


I'm just your fool, can't help myself
I love you baby and no one else
Oh, I ain't crazy; you are my baby
I'm just your, just your, just your fool
Yeah, c'mon


Oh, you must be tryin' to drive me crazy
Treatin' me the way you do
I ask you, baby, please have mercy
Let me be happy, too


Oh, if you're gonna
If you're gonna leave for someone new
Gonna go Jackie Chan and kung-fu you
Oh, I ain't lyin'; no use in jivin'
I'm just your fool


Yeah, I'm just your fool, can't help myself
I love you baby and no one else
Oh, I ain't crazy; you are my baby
I'm just your fool



02 - Shattered Dreams

Shattered dreams of days gone by

Makes me want to sit right down and cry

All the plans I had and what it turned to

Just shattered dreams

Yesterday was long ago

When I first met you, you were my dream

All in vain, and it only brought me pain

Yes, and shattered dreams

Your goodbye shattered it all

For early this morning, blues brought me a call

Now all I had is gone, and all that's left

Is my shattered dreams

Shattered dreams

Shattered dreams, baby

Shattered dreams

Shattered dreams

Shattered dreams

Shattered dreams

My shattered dreams

My shattered dreams

03 - Early In The Mornin'

Hey Pedro, where we goin'?
(I don't know)
Turn on that flashlight
I...I think I'm kissin' your sister


Early in the mornin', and I can't get it right
Had a little date with my baby last night
Now it's early in the mornin'
Ooh, in the mornin'
Early in the mornin', and I ain't got nothin' but the blues


Went to all the places that we used to go
Went to his house, but he don't live there no more
Early in the mornin' (Early in the mornin')
Ooh, in the mornin' (Early in the mornin')
Early in the mornin', and I ain't got nothin' but the blues


Went to his best friend's house, but he was out
Knocked on his mother's door, and she began to shout
'Scat, alley cat' in the mornin' (Early in the mornin')
Ooh, in the mornin'
Yeah, it's early in the mornin', and I ain't got nothin' but the blues


Went to Doogy Chase to get somethin' to eat
The waitress looked at me and said, 'Ma, you look beat.'
Now it's early in the mornin' (Early in the mornin', baby)
Ooh, in the mornin'
Yeah, it's early in the mornin', and I ain't got nothin' but the blues


Oh, I had a lot of money when I started out
Couldn't find my baby and now my money's run out
Now it's early in the mornin'
Early in the mornin' (Early in the mornin')
Ooh, in the mornin' (Early in the mornin')
Early in the mornin', and I ain't got nothin' but the blues


Early in the mornin' (Early in the mornin')
Early in the mornin' (Early in the mornin')
Early in the mornin' (Early in the mornin')
Yeah, early in the mornin'


Hey! Pedro, wait up! (Alright)
Watch out.
What you doin'? (I don't know)



04 - Romance In The Dark

In the dark, it's just you and I
There's not a sound, there's not one sigh
Just the beat of my poor heart
In the dark


Now, in the dark, I get such a thrill
When he puts his fingertips upon my lips
And he begs me, "Please, please, be still"
In the dark


But soon this dance will be ending
And you're gonna find, you're gonna be missed
Gee, but I'm not pretending
'Cause I swear, I swear, it's fun
It's fun, it's fun to be kissed in the dark


Now, we will find
What the rest what the rest have left behind
Just let them dance 'cause we'll find romance
In the dark


In the dark, I get such a thrill
When he puts his fingertips on my lips
And he begs me to "Please, be still, be still
In the dark


Oh, but soon this dance will be ending
And you're gonna be missed
Gee, but I'm not pretending
'Cause I swear, I swear, it's fun
It's fun, fun to be kissed in the dark


Now, we will find
What the rest what the rest have left behind
Just let them dance 'cause we'll find romance
In the dark, yes

05 - How Blue Can You Get?

Been downhearted baby
Ever since the day we met
I've been downhearted baby
Ever since the day we met
Our love is nothin' but the blues
Baby how blue can you get


My love is like a fire
Your love is like a cigarette
My love is like a fire
But baby yours is like a cigarette
I watch you step down on it baby and crush it
Tell me how, tell me how, how blue can you get?


You're evil when I'm with you
And you're jealous when we're apart
Yes you're evil when I'm with you baby
Lord have mercy, you're jealous when we're apart
How blue can you get
Hey that's a writing in my heart


Gave you a brand new Ford
And you just said I want a Cadillac
I bought you a ten dollar dinner
You said Thanks for the snack
I let you live in my penthouse
You said it was just a shack
I gave you seven children
And now you wanna give 'em back


I've been downhearted baby
Ever since the day we met
Our love is nothin' but the blues
Baby how blue can you get



06 - Down Don't Bother Me

I've been down so long

You know, down don't bother me

I've been down so long

You know, down don't bother me

Gonna take all my troubles

And cast 'em in the deep, blue sea

I work hard every day

I come straight home at night

And no matter how hard I try

Y'know you never wanna treat me right

I've been down so long

You know, down don't bother me

I'm gonna take all my troubles

And cast 'em in the deep, blue sea

I bought you a nice coat for Christmas

And a diamond ring

And now you've got the nerve to tell me

My love don't mean a thing

I've been down so long

'Til down don't bother me

I'm gonna cast all my worries

And take 'em to the deep, blue sea

I work hard every day

I come straight home at night

And no matter how I try, I try

You never wanna treat me right

I've been down so long

You know, down don't bother me

I'm gonna cast all my worries

And take 'em to the deep, blue sea

07 - Don't Cry No More

Don't cry no more
Wipe away your tears
Don't cry no more, baby
Wipe away your tears


And you know, I know
That your love is real
Don't cry, don't cry
I'ma begging
Don't cry no more, baby


I'm begging you
Every tear I shed
Tells me that your love is true


You cried me a river
You cried me a sea
And now I believe without a doubt
That you really, really, really love me


Don't cry no more
You cried me a river
You cried me a sea
And now I believe without a doubt
That you really, really, really love me


Don't cry no more
Wipe away your tears
Don't cry no more, baby
Wipe away your tears
Don't you know, I know
That your love is real?


Don't cry, don't cry
Don't cry no more, baby
Don't cry no more, baby
Don't cry, don't cry
Don't cry no more, baby
Don't cry, don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry¨
Don't cry

08 - Rollin' And Tumblin'

Well, I rolled and I tumbled

Cried the whole night long

Well, I rolled and I tumbled

Cried the whole night long

When I woke up this morning

Didn't know right from wrong

Well, I told my baby

'Fore I left this town

Well, I told my baby

'Fore I left this town

That don't let nobody

Tear my playhouse down

Well, if the river was whiskey

I was a diving duck

Well, if the river was whiskey

I was a diving duck

I would swim to the bottom

Never, never come up

Well, I could have had religion

This bad old thing instead

Well, I could have had religion

This bad old thing instead

But that whiskey and bad men

Would not let me pray

Well, I rolled and I tumbled

Cried the whole night long

Well, I rolled and I tumbled

Cried the whole night long

Well, when I woke up this morning

I didn't know right from wrong

09 - Down So Low

When you went away I cried

Cried for so long

And I wanted you to stay

Ah but that was all wrong

The pain you left behind

Has become part of me

And it's burned out a hole

Where my love used to be

But it's not losing you

That's got me down so low

I just can't find another man

To take your place

Well you know I love you

But that wasn't enough

We both fell apart

When things got too tough

And I've learned how to give now

But what good

But what good would that do

No one can touch me

The way you used to do

And it's not losing you

That's got me down so low

I just can't find another man

To take your place

Well I know your opinion

Of me is not good

Please try to understand

That I'd change

Well I'd change if I could

And this coldness inside me

Well it's starting to build

And a woman can't be a woman

Unless she's fulfilled

But it's not losing you

That's got me down so low

I just can't find another man

To take your place

There's no one can

10 - Mother Earth

You may high five me all the time
You may never go my way
Mother Earth is layin' for you
'Cause there's a debt you've got to pay

I don't care how rich you are
I don't care what you're worth
When it all comes down
You've got to go back to Mother Earth

You may own half a city
Diamonds and pearls
You may buy an airplane, baby,
And fly all over this world

I don't care how great you are
I don't care what you're worth
When it all comes up
You've got to go back to Mother Earth

You may play the racehorses
You may own a racetrack
You may have enough money, baby,
To buy anything you like

I don't care how great you are
I don't care what you're worth
When it all goes up
You've got to go back to Mother Earth

You may play the racehorses
You may own your own track
You may have enough money
To buy anything you like

I don't care how great you are
No, I don't care what you're worth
When it all comes up
You've got to go back to Mother Earth


11 - Crossroads

I went to the crossroads
Fell down on my knees
I went to the crossroads
Fell down on my knees
I asked the lord above
"Have mercy on poor me, if you please"

Standing at the crossroad
Tried to flag a ride
I went down to the crossroad
Tried to flag a ride
Didn't nobody seem to know me but
Everybody passed me by

Standing at the crossroad, baby
Rising sun going down
I'm standing at the crossroad, baby
See the rising sun going down, down
I believe in my soul, now
Poor me, poor me is sinking down

You can run, you can run
Just tell my friend Willie Brown
You can run, you can run
Just tell my friend Willie Brown

That I got the crossroad blues
This morning, Lord, baby
And I'm slowly sinking down
Down, down, down, down, down

And I went down to the crossroad
And I looked east and west
I went to the crossroad, baby
I looked east I looked west
Lord, I didn't have me no sweet man
To hold me in my distress




12 - I Don’t Want To Cry

Don't wanna cry
Don't wanna cry anymore
I'll always love you
Yes, I know
But I don't wanna cry anymore

My heart, and I
Have been a fool, I know
If you don't love me
Let me go
'Cause I don't wanna cry anymore

Oh darling, how I tried
Just to keep you satisfied
But all of my love was in vain
If you had only cared
All about this love affair
You wouldn't let my tears
Fall like drops of rain

My heart and I
Have been a fool, I know
I guess it's time to close the door
'Cause I don't wanna cry anymore
I don't wanna cry anymore...

Don't wanna cry, don't wanna cry anymore
I-I don't, don't wanna cry anymore
Don't wanna cry 
Don't wanna cry anymore
Don't wanna cry anymore
Don't wanna cry 
Don't wanna cry anymore
Don't wanna cry anymore
