Dave Van Ronk - Somebody Else, Not Me (Reissue)

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)
