Blind Blake — Sea Board Stomp lyrics

Lyrics

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
