I've seen the lights of gay Broadway
Old market street down by the Frisco Bay
I've strolled the Prado
I've gambled on the Bourse

The seven wonders of the world I've seen
And many are the places I have been
Take my advice folks
And see Beale Street first

You'll see pretty browns
In beautiful gowns
You'll see tailor-mades
And hand-me-downs
You'll meet honest men
And pick-pockets skilled
You'll find that business
Never close 'til somebody gets killed

If Beale Street could talk
If Beale Street could talk
Married men would take their beds and walk
Except one or two
Who never drink booze
And the blind man
On the corner singing Beale Street Blues

I'd rather be here than any place I know
I'd rather be here than any place I know
It's gonna take the sergeant
For to make me go

Goin' to the river
Maybe by and by
Goin' to the river
And there's a reason why
Because the river's wet
And Beale Street's done gone dry.
