lirik lagu gene watson - the old man with a horn

Loading...

the old man told his story
about the years gone by
how he played his h-rn down in new orleans
in some old dingy dive
i knew ’em all back then. he said
as he reached out for his h-rn
he closed his eyes and wet his lips
then the blues were born.

he played with so much feelin’
tears came from his eyes
he stopped and reminisced a bit
and then he gave a sigh!
said, you know, i almost made it
but that was before your time
dixieland, po’ folks blues
scatman jack and wine.

slapped his knee and gave a grin
it sure was good back then
reaching for his h-rn on the floor
placed it in an old towsack
that hung across his back
he said goodbye!
and shuffled out the door.

enthused by what he told me
i never got his name
so, i called the waitress over
and started to explain
a tired old man – his tarnished h-rn

mem’ries of years gone by
how he played his h-rn and reminisced
smiled with tear-dimmed eyes.

she said you are mistaken
there’s been no one but you
but i know who you’re talkin’ ’bout
i used to know him, too
you’ll find him down on basin street
in back of an old churchyard
a stone that reads, rest in peace
i tried but it sure was hard.

slapped his knee and gave a grin
it sure was good back then
reaching for his h-rn on the floor
placed it in an old towsack
that hung across his back
he said goodbye!
and shuffled out the door.
