Did You Hear John Hurt?

It was a frosty night. It was beginning to snow

And down the city streets, the wind began to blow

We all came to the cellar. We all emptied the bar

To hear a little fellow, play a shiny guitar

(Cho:)

Did you hear John Hurt play the "Creole Bell,"

"Spanish Fandango" that he loved so well?

And did you love John Hurt? Did you shake his hand?

Did you hear him sing his "Candy Man?"

On a straight back chair, with his felt hat on

He tickled our fancy with his "Avalon."

And everyone passing down on MacDougle Street

Cocked their heads and listen to the tappin' feet

(Cho:)

(Repeat first verse and Chorus)
