Lyrics Beale Street Mama - Bessie Smith
Jenny
Neale
Down
in
Beale
Gave
her
papa
the
air
Left
him
cold
Got
him
told
Said
she
didn't
care
Old
Joe,
her
beau
Looked
just
like
he
would
die
If
you
was
near
him
You
would
hear
him
Sob
his
mournful
cry
Beale
Street
Papa
Why
don't
you
come
back
home?
It
isn't
proper
to
leave
your
mama
all
alone
Sometimes
I
was
cruel,
that
was
true
But
Papa,
you
know
Mama
never
two-timed
you
Boo-hoo,
I'm
blue
So
how
come
you
do
me
like
you
do?
I'm
cryin'
Beale
Street
Papa,
don't
mess
around
with
me
There's
plenty
pettin'
that
I
can
get
in
Tennessee
I'll
still
get
my
sweet
cooking,
constantly
But
not
the
kind
you
served
to
me
So
Beale
Street
Papa,
come
back
home
So
how
come
you
do
me
like
you
do?
I'm
cryin'
Beale
Street
Papa,
don't
mess
around
with
me
There's
plenty
pettin'
that
I
can
get
in
Tennessee
I
bought
a
rifle,
razor
and
a
knife
A
postal
card
can't
save
my
life
So
Beale
Street
Papa,
come
back
home
