Ted Lewis Jazz Band
"Beale Street Blues"
Columbia 1050-D
1927
If Beale Street could talk, if Beale Street could talk,
Married men would have to take their beds and walk,
Except one or two who never drink booze,
And the blind man on the corner singing "Beale Street Blues!"
The great composer W. C. Handy lived from 1873 to 1958.
