There's a double bill murder at the New Daisy The old girl's silent across the street She's silent waiting for the wrecker's beat Silent staring at her stolen name Diamond boys and satin dolls Bourbon laughter ghosts history falls To parking lots and shopping malls As they tear down old Beale Street Old Furry sings the blues He points a bony finger at you and says "I don't like you!" Everybody laughs like it's the old guy's standard joke But it's true We're only welcome for our drink and smoke W. C. Handy I'm rich and I'm fey And I'm not familiar with what you played But I get such strong impressions of your hey day Looking up and down old Beale Street Ghosts of the darktown society Come right out of the bricks at me Like it's a Saturday night They're in their finery Dancing it up and making deals Furry sings the blues Why should I expect that old guy to give it to me true blue When he's fallen to hard luck And time and other thieves While our limo is shining on his shanty street Furry sings the blues © March 19 1976 Crazy Crow Music (adapted to 1976 live lyrics from The Last Waltz)
