Lyrics and translation Bessie Smith & Her Down Home Trio - Beale Street Mama
Jenny
Neale
Jenny
Neale
Down
in
Beale
Dans
Beale
Street
Gave
her
papa
the
air
Elle
a
donné
à
son
papa
l'air
froid
Left
him
cold
Le
laissant
froid
Got
him
told
L'ayant
mis
au
courant
Said
she
didn't
care
Disant
qu'elle
s'en
fichait
Old
Joe,
her
beau
Le
vieux
Joe,
son
amant
Looked
just
like
he
would
die
Avait
l'air
de
mourir
If
you
was
near
him
Si
tu
étais
près
de
lui
You
would
hear
him
Tu
l'entendrais
Sob
his
mournful
cry
Gémir
sa
plainte
douloureuse
Beale
Street
papa
Papa
de
Beale
Street
Why
don't
you
come
back
home?
Pourquoi
ne
reviens-tu
pas
à
la
maison
?
It
isn't
proper
to
leave
your
mama
all
alone
Ce
n'est
pas
correct
de
laisser
ta
maman
toute
seule
Sometimes
I
was
cruel,
that
was
true
Parfois
j'étais
cruelle,
c'est
vrai
But
papa,
you
know
mama
never
two-timed
you
Mais
papa,
tu
sais
que
maman
ne
t'a
jamais
trompé
Boo,
hoo,
I'm
blue
Boo,
hoo,
je
suis
bleue
So
how
come
you
do
me
like
you
do?
Alors
pourquoi
tu
me
fais
comme
tu
fais
?
I'm
cryin'
Je
pleure
Beale
Street
papa,
don't
mess
around
with
me
Papa
de
Beale
Street,
ne
te
moque
pas
de
moi
There's
plenty
pettin'
that
I
can
get
in
Tennessee
Il
y
a
plein
de
câlins
que
je
peux
obtenir
au
Tennessee
I'll
still
get
my
sweet
cooking,
constantly
Je
continuerai
à
avoir
ma
cuisine
sucrée,
constamment
But
not
the
kind
you
served
to
me
Mais
pas
du
genre
que
tu
me
servais
So
Beale
Street
papa,
come
back
home
Alors
papa
de
Beale
Street,
rentre
à
la
maison
So
how
come
you
do
me
like
you
do?
Alors
pourquoi
tu
me
fais
comme
tu
fais
?
I'm
cryin'
Je
pleure
Beale
Street
papa,
don't
mess
around
with
me
Papa
de
Beale
Street,
ne
te
moque
pas
de
moi
There's
plenty
pettin'
that
I
can
get
in
Tennessee
Il
y
a
plein
de
câlins
que
je
peux
obtenir
au
Tennessee
I
bought
a
rifle,
razor
and
a
knife
J'ai
acheté
un
fusil,
un
rasoir
et
un
couteau
A
full
support
[unverified]
can't
save
my
life
Un
soutien
complet
[non
vérifié]
ne
peut
pas
sauver
ma
vie
So
Beale
Street
papa,
come
back
home
Alors
papa
de
Beale
Street,
rentre
à
la
maison
