Graham) Subject: OLD MAN WITH A HORN THE OLD MAN WITH A HORN Recorded by Gene Watson Writer: Not Listed The [C] Old man told his story About the years gone by How he [F] played his horn down in New Orleans In some old dingy dive [C] "I knew 'em all back then." he said As he reached out [C7] for his [F] horn He closed his eyes - and [C] wet his lips [G7] Then the blues were [C] born. [C] He played with so much feelin' Tears came from his eyes He [F] stopped and reminisced a bit And then he gave a sigh! [C] Said, "You know, I almost made it But that was be-[C7] fore your [F] time Dixieland, [C] Po' Folks Blues [G7] ScatMan Jack and [C] wine." [G7] Slapped his [C] knee and [F] gave a [C] grin It [F] sure was good back [C] then Reaching for his horn on the [G7] floor Placed it [C] in an old towsack That [F] hung across his [C] back He said [F] "Goodbye!" And [C] shuffled [G7] out the [C] 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 horn Mem'ries of years gone by How he played his horn 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." CHORUS TAG: He [F] said, "Goodbye" then [C] shuffled [G7] out the [C] door. |
