hooray
Trinken
Korn
und

Hurra
Pianos
playing
'til

break
of

Pianos
spielen
bis
zum
Tagesanbruch
But
as
I
turned
my
head
Doch
als
ich
meinen
Kopf
drehte
I
loudly
said,
"Preach
'em
blues,
sing
them
blues"
Sagte
ich
laut:
„Predigt
den
Blues,
singt
den
Blues“
They
certainly
sounds
good
to
me
Die
klingen
wirklich
gut
für
mich
I've
been
in
love
for
the
last
six
months
Ich
bin
seit
sechs
Monaten
verliebt
And
ain't
done
worrying
yet
Und
habe
noch
nicht
aufgehört,
mir
Sorgen
zu
machen
Moan
'em
blues,
holler
them
blues
Stöhnt
den
Blues,
brüllt
den
Blues
Let
me
convert
your
soul
Lass
mich
deine
Seele
bekehren
'Cause
just
a
little
spirit
of
the
blues
tonight
Denn
nur
ein
kleiner
Hauch
von
Blues
heute
Nacht
Let
me
tell
you,
girls,
that
your
man
ain't
treating
you
right
Lasst
mich
euch
sagen,
Mädels,
dass
euer
Mann
euch
nicht
richtig
behandelt
Let
me
tell
you,
I
don't
mean
no
wrong
Lasst
mich
euch
sagen,
ich
meine
es
nicht
böse
I
will
learn
you
something
if
you
listen
to
this
song
Ich
werde
euch
etwas
lehren,
wenn

Lied
zuhört
I
ain't
here
to
try
to
save
your
soul
Ich
bin
nicht
hier,
um
eure
Seele
zu
retten
Just
wanna
teach
you
how
to
save
your
good
jelly
roll
Will
euch
nur
lehren,
wie
ihr
euer
gutes
bestes
Stück
rettet

Taking
other
women's
men,
you
are
doing
a
sin
Anderen
Frauen
die
Männer

das
ist
eine
Sünde
Sing

Singt

Blues
Let
