1937 Pre-War Kimball |
| Oh, It sat in this corner for many a year |
| Through fireside parties, of tear and cheers |
| The hands of James Hooker flew over it’s keys |
| And God know who else 'fore it came to me When I was alone I could be Julie Gold |
| It rang her «From A Distance"just like it was my own |
| I’d pretend I’ve the voice of Beth Neilsen Chapman |
| I wrote «Late Night Grande (Hotel)» |
| With just my right hand happenin' |
| Now it’s the keys rent the air in it’s new place to stand |
| A gift for the children who’ll play right and left hand |
| Just a 1937 Pre-war Kimball |
| Oh, the grace of that three-quarter grand |
| Oh, the grace of that three-quarter grand |
| Oh, the grace of that three-quarter grand |
| Oh, it’s lonesome in this corner at five am |
| I’d call Harlan Howard, only he’d understand |
| All those melodies that came to be Mornings in that corner… that piano and me I wish for a left hand like Glenn D. Hardin |
| I could play Jimmy Webb or perhaps Randy Newman |
| Ah, it’s a blessing it never met Jerry Lee’s feet |
| Just the hands of those children |
| Is all this Kimball needs |
| I’ll let it go… Let it go That piano I bought from Al Jones long ago |
| I’ve let it go, I’ve let it go |
| I smiled as it rolled out my door |
| The songs that we wrote, ah, note for note |
| That piano will always know |
| And God bless the child |
| Who’s got a song |
| Who’s got a song |
| Who’s got a song |
