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

  1. Tens a letra de Wild Women Don't Get The Blues?! Eu tenho ela segue a letra!:

    Letra:
    Wild Women Don't Have The Blues
    by Ida Cox recording of July 1924

    I hear these women raving 'bout their monkey men
    About their trifling1 husbands and their no good friends
    These poor women sit around all day and moan
    Wondering why their wandering papa's don't come home
    But wild women don't worry, wild women don't have no blues

    Now when you've got a man, don't never be on the square
    'Cause if you do he'll have a woman everywhere
    I never was known to treat no one man right
    I keep 'em working hard both day and night
    'Cause wild women don't worry, wild women don't have their blues

    I've got a disposition and a way of my own
    When my man starts kicking I let him find another home
    I get full of good liquor, walk the streets all night
    Go home and put my man out if he don't act right
    Wild women don't worry, wild women don't have their blues

    You never get nothing by being an angel child
    You better change your ways and get real wild
    I wanna tell you something, I wouldn't tell you a lie
    Wild women are the only kind that really get by
    'Cause wild women don't worry, wild women don't have their blues

    Tradução:
    Mulher Selvagem Não Tem o Blues
    Por Ida Cox Gravado em julho de 1924

    Ouço essas mulheres sobre os homens delirando como um macaco
    Sobre os maridos e os seus insignificantes sem bons amigos
    Estas pobres mulheres sentam o dia todo à gemer
    Querendo saber por que seu pai errante não voltar para casa
    Mas as mulheres selvagens, não se preocupe, as mulheres selvagens não tem o blues

    Agora, quando você tem um homem, não nunca será na praça
    Porque se você fizer isso ele vai ter uma mulher em todos os lugares
    Eu nunca fui conhecida para tratar os direitos de um homem
    Mantê-los trabalhando duro dia e noite
    Porque as mulheres selvagens, não se preocupe, as mulheres selvagens não têm seu blues

    Eu tenho uma disposição e um modo de mim própria
    Quando o meu pai começa a chutar eu deixarei encontrar um novo lar
    Eu encho a cara, ando pelas ruas a noite toda
    Vo para casa e coloco o meu homem se ele não agir corretamente
    Mulheres selvagens não se preocupe, as mulheres selvagens não têm seu blues

    Você nunca consegue nada por ser filho do anjo
    É melhor você mudar sua atitude e começar a ser selvagem de verdade
    Eu quero te dizer uma coisa, eu não diria uma mentira
    Mulheres selvagens são as únicas que realmente conseguem
    Porque as mulheres selvagens, não se preocupe, as mulheres selvagens não têm seu blues
