Strolling Beale No. 1 Songtext
von Rufus Thomas

I woke up this morning just as blue as I could be
I woke up this morning just as blue as I could be
I looked all around my bedroom
My woman had cut out on me


So I started strolling and drinking
Strolling Beale Street, up and down, oh
Strolling Beale Street, up and down, oh
I inquired about my baby
But my woman could not be found, oh no, no

I saw my baby coming
She was coming with a smile
She said, "I′m coming home to you, baby
Coming home to my baby child"

I, I'll never leave you
Oh, oh, you know just how I feel
I′ll forever be with you, baby
So you won't have to keep on strolling Beale
