Текст песни Soft Pedal Blues - Alternate Take - Bessie Smith

There's a lady in our neighborhood, who runs a buffet flat
And when she gives a party, she knows just what she's at
You give a dance, say Friday night, that was to last till one
But when the time was almost up, the fun had just begun
But she walks into the room, and yells up to the crowd
"Have all the fun, ladies and gentlemen, but don't make it too loud!"

Oh play it, Mr. Leaderman, play it all night long
I like the words and music you give in a song
How it moans away
It's nearly break of day
Early in the morn'
So put that soft pedal on
I'm drunk and full of fun, ya-hoo
Go and spread the news
'I've got them soft pedallin' blues

Early in the morn'
So put that soft pedal on
I'm drunk and full of fun, ya-hoo
Go and spread the news
'Cause I've got these soft pedallin' blues
Early in the mornin', ya-hoo
I've got these soft pedallin' blues
