| Now we goin' on one of them old Seaboard stomps
|
| Nobody don’t know how much we enjoy this dance
|
| They had a boy there they called, Piano Charles
|
| He’d say, «Blake!» |
| I said, «What you want, boy?»
|
| He said, «Come over here, I want to hear you, I wanna let you hear me how to,
|
| how I make this Seaboard train come on down the line on the piano.»
|
| I said, «Now I’m gonna come and hear how you do that, then.»
|
| Now who wouldn’t shake that thing?
|
| He had a cornet player there, and when he started to playin' that cornet,
|
| it was too bad, Jim!
|
| That’s when I lost my head!
|
| That’s all--tellin' you the truth!
|
| Here’s the way that cornet player played
|
| Now they had a trombone player there, he just won’t quit
|
| Here’s the way he played his trombone
|
| That’s the time I had to lose my head, when he done that
|
| Hear the saxophone!
|
| I think I’m gonna call this last number, now |
