Blind Blake - Seaboard Stomp Lyrics



Blind Blake - Seaboard Stomp Lyrics




Spoken]
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.""

[Guitar imitates piano imitating train]

[Spoken]
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
[Guitar imitates cornet]

[Spoken]
Now they had a trombone player there, he just won't quit
Here's the way he played his trombone

[Guitar imitates trombone]
[Spoken]
That's the time I had to lose my head, when he done that
Hear the saxophone!

[Guitar imitates saxophone]

[Spoken]
I think I'm gonna call this last number, now
