My Old Pal Blues (Dedicated To The Memory Of Leroy Carr)
I woke up this morning, couldn't hardly get out of my bed (2x)
When I got the news, that Leroy Carr was dead
I run to the window, and I throwed up the blinds (2x)
I stood there wondering, and just couldn't keep from crying
The day of his funeral, I hated to see Leroy's face (2x)
Because I know there's no one, could ever take his place
Then off to the funeral, then to the burying ground (2x)
My heart was breaking, as they lowered him down
He's done singing, he's done playing, you'll never hear his voice no more (2x)
He was a real good pal, and I'll miss him everywhere I go.
Mis Viejos Blues (Dedicado a la Memoria de Leroy Carr)
Me desperté esta mañana, apenas podía salir de mi cama (2x)
Cuando recibí la noticia, de que Leroy Carr había fallecido
Corrí hacia la ventana, y levanté las persianas (2x)
Me quedé allí preguntándome, y simplemente no pude evitar llorar
El día de su funeral, odiaba ver el rostro de Leroy (2x)
Porque sé que no hay nadie, que pueda ocupar su lugar
Luego al funeral, luego al cementerio (2x)
Mi corazón se rompía, mientras lo bajaban
Ya no cantará, ya no tocará, nunca más escucharás su voz (2x)
Era un verdadero buen amigo, y lo extrañaré donde quiera que vaya.
