Buddy Bolden, tunin' up |
|
Blowing horn was his game |
|
Born with a silver trumpet in his mouth |
|
He played the horn before he talked |
|
Born on the after beat |
|
He patted his foot before walked |
|
When Buddy Bolden tuned up, you could hear him clean across the river |
|
Clean across the river |
|
He woke up the working people and kept the easy living |
|
Call him Buddy Bolden |
|
Call him Buddy Bolden |
|
Watch him, he's calling his flock now |
|
He's calling his flock now |
|
Here they come |
|
Call him Buddy Bolden |
|
He's calling his flock now |
|
Here they come here they come, here they come |
|
Come on Buddy Bolden |
|
Here they come |
