My Old Pal Blues (Dedicated To The Memory Of Leroy Carr)
I woke up this morning, couldn't hardly get out of my bed (2x)
When I got the news, that Leroy Carr was dead
I run to the window, and I throwed up the blinds (2x)
I stood there wondering, and just couldn't keep from crying
The day of his funeral, I hated to see Leroy's face (2x)
Because I know there's no one, could ever take his place
Then off to the funeral, then to the burying ground (2x)
My heart was breaking, as they lowered him down
He's done singing, he's done playing, you'll never hear his voice no more (2x)
He was a real good pal, and I'll miss him everywhere I go.
Meu Velho Amigo Blues (Dedicado à Memória de Leroy Carr)
Acordei essa manhã, mal consegui sair da cama (2x)
Quando recebi a notícia, que Leroy Carr tinha morrido
Corri até a janela, e levantei as persianas (2x)
Fiquei ali pensando, e não consegui segurar o choro
No dia do seu funeral, eu odiei ver o rosto do Leroy (2x)
Porque eu sei que ninguém, pode ocupar o lugar dele
Então fui pro funeral, depois pro cemitério (2x)
Meu coração estava partido, enquanto o enterravam
Ele parou de cantar, ele parou de tocar, você nunca mais ouvirá sua voz (2x)
Ele era um grande amigo, e eu vou sentir falta dele em todo lugar que eu for.
