My Old Pal Blues (Dedicated To The Memory Of Leroy Carr)

Acordei essa manhã, mal consegui sair da cama (2x)I woke up this morning, couldn't hardly get out of my bed (2x)
Quando recebi a notícia, que Leroy Carr tinha morridoWhen I got the news, that Leroy Carr was dead

Corri até a janela, e levantei as persianas (2x)I run to the window, and I throwed up the blinds (2x)
Fiquei ali pensando, e não consegui segurar o choroI stood there wondering, and just couldn't keep from crying

No dia do seu funeral, eu odiei ver o rosto do Leroy (2x)The day of his funeral, I hated to see Leroy's face (2x)
Porque eu sei que ninguém, pode ocupar o lugar deleBecause I know there's no one, could ever take his place

Então fui pro funeral, depois pro cemitério (2x)Then off to the funeral, then to the burying ground (2x)
Meu coração estava partido, enquanto o enterravamMy heart was breaking, as they lowered him down

Ele parou de cantar, ele parou de tocar, você nunca mais ouvirá sua voz (2x)He's done singing, he's done playing, you'll never hear his voice no more (2x)
Ele era um grande amigo, e eu vou sentir falta dele em todo lugar que eu for.He was a real good pal, and I'll miss him everywhere I go.
