Fluting

You were so young when I met you

But you sounded so old and so wise

Made me think of John Coltrane

And other giants of jazz

When I close my eyes

Testify

You was testifying the blues

Testify

You got a sound that I could really use

Play on, play on

You heard that?

I told you, you sound so wise

You know it's so wonderful

The way the maker just spreads it all around the globe

He gives it to all the tribes

But you surprised me, you really surprised me

How can it be?

You don't come from Chicago

You don't come from Illinois

You come from that north country far

Playing all that good music

So much joy

Sweet soul music
