Buddy Bolden tune up
Blowing horn was his game
Born with a silver trumpet in his mouth
He played the horn before he talked
Born on the after beat
He patted his foot before walked
When Buddy Bolden tuned up you could hear him clean
Clean across the river clean across the river
He woke up the working people and kept the easy living
Call on Buddy Bolden call him Buddy Bolden
Watch it he's calling his flock now
He's calling his flock now here they come
Call him Buddy Bolden he's calling his flock now
Here they come here they come
Come on Buddy Bolden here they come
(1956) Billy Strayhorn, Duke Ellington Buddy Bolden tune up Blowing horn was his game Born with a silver trumpet in his mouth He played the horn before he talked Born on the after beat He patted his foot before walked When Buddy Bolden tuned up you could hear him clean Clean across the river clean across the river He woke up the working people and kept the easy living Call on Buddy Bolden call him Buddy Bolden Watch it he's calling his flock now He's calling his flock now here they come Call him Buddy Bolden he's calling his flock now Here they come here they come Come on Buddy Bolden here they come Explain Request ×
