Lyrics
Folks, come gather around my stand
And hear Satchmo's happy Dixie band
Now I know some people call it corn
But right here's where the blues was born
Yeah that music blue
Just the thing that you like to strut to on the floor
Yeah that slide trombone and trumpet moan
As you're clumpin' through the door
I'll guarantee that you'll never see
Like the likes of them again
Stomp your feet to the beat of the Dixie music men
Everybody move and get right in the groove
There ain't nothin' you can lose
Now right here's the spot where we all get hot
With a nasty mess of blues
Here's the place that slapped and spanked the bass
The music, that's what I mean
This is where the blues was born in New Orleans
Let me introduce Mr. Charlie Beal
Piano man, can he spiel
Only got two hands but that's a-plenty
'Cause when he plays it sounds like twenty
Here's Kid Ory on the horn
Greatest slide man ever born
Plays trombone smears with a laughin' note
No human being ever wrote
Here's Barney Bigard on his clarinet
You ain't never heard nothin' like him yet
When he cuts loose I know you'll know
Mr. Bigard, please give a blow
Here's Bud Scott and his old guitar
Always smokin' a big cigar
He's a rhythm man of great renown
Give a listen while he goes to town
Red Callender, meet him face to face
He's the man that slaps the old bass
He started out with a violin
And the doggone thing grew up on him
Here's me, excuse my crutch
Introduce myself I must
I'm Satchmo Armstrong, don't forget
I got to give out on the old cornet
