Lyrics and translation Bessie Smith - Jazzbo Brown From Memphis Town
Don't
you
start
no
crowin',
lay
your
money
down
Ne
commence
pas
à
crier,
mets
ton
argent
I've
got
mine
on
Jazzbo,
that
mis'able
clown,
that
hound
J'ai
le
mien
sur
Jazzbo,
ce
clown
misérable,
ce
chien
He
ain't
got
no
equal,
no
way
in
this
land
Il
n'a
pas
d'égal,
nulle
part
dans
ce
pays
So
let
me
tell
you
people
'bout
this
Memphis
man
Alors
laissez-moi
vous
parler
de
cet
homme
de
Memphis
Jazzbo
Brown
from
Memphis
Town
Jazzbo
Brown
de
Memphis
Town
He's
a
clown,
that
hound
C'est
un
clown,
ce
chien
He
can't
dance,
he
can't
sing
Il
ne
sait
pas
danser,
il
ne
sait
pas
chanter
But
lawdy
how
he
can
play
that
thing
Mais
mon
Dieu,
comme
il
sait
jouer
ce
truc
He
ain't
seen
no
music
school
Il
n'a
jamais
vu
d'école
de
musique
He
can't
read
a
note
Il
ne
sait
pas
lire
une
note
But
he's
the
plainest
fool
Mais
il
est
le
plus
simple
On
that
Memphis
boat
Sur
ce
bateau
de
Memphis
When
he
wraps
his
big
fat
lips
Quand
il
enroule
ses
grosses
lèvres
grasses
'Round
that
doggone
horn
Autour
de
ce
satané
cor
Helpin'
out
on
sin
and
cheer
Aider
au
péché
et
à
la
joie
Lord,
carryin'
on
Seigneur,
continue
I
could
dance
to
Monaco
Je
pourrais
danser
jusqu'à
Monaco
If
that
fool
would
only
blow
Si
ce
fou
voulait
juste
souffler
Jazzbo
brown,
that
clown,
that
hound
Jazzbo
Brown,
ce
clown,
ce
chien
From
Memphis
Town
De
Memphis
Town
Jazzbo
Brown
from
Memphis
Town
Jazzbo
Brown
de
Memphis
Town
He's
a
clown,
that
hound
C'est
un
clown,
ce
chien
When
he
blows
and
pats
his
feet
Quand
il
souffle
et
tape
du
pied
Makes
a
butcher
leave
his
meat
Fait
qu'un
boucher
quitte
sa
viande
He
don't
play
no
classic
stuff
Il
ne
joue
pas
de
la
musique
classique
Like
them
Hoffman
Tales
Comme
ces
contes
de
Hoffman
What
he
plays
is
good
enough
Ce
qu'il
joue
est
assez
bon
For
the
Prince
of
Wales
Pour
le
prince
de
Galles
He
can
moan
an'
he
can
groan
Il
peut
gémir
et
il
peut
grogner
I
ain't
foolin'
you
Je
ne
te
trompe
pas
There
ain't
nothin'
on
that
horn
Il
n'y
a
rien
sur
ce
cor
That
old
Jazz
can't
do
Que
ce
vieux
Jazz
ne
peut
pas
faire
That
sure
does
mark
your
card
Ça
marque
vraiment
ta
carte
And
I'll
give
you
all
the
odds
Et
je
te
donnerai
toutes
les
cotes
On
Jazzbo
Brown,
that
clown,
that
hound
Sur
Jazzbo
Brown,
ce
clown,
ce
chien
From
Memphis
Town
De
Memphis
