Doc Watson - Did You Hear John Hurt? lyrics

On a frosty night It began to snow Down the city street Oh the wind it blowed We all went to the cellar Yes, we cleared out the bar To hear a little old fella Play some pretty guitar Did you hear John Hurt Play his Creole Belle? Or the Spanish Fandango That he loved so well? Did you love John Hurt? Did you shake his hand? And did you hear him Play his Candy Man? On a straight-back chair With his felt hat on He tickled our fancies With his total ol' song All the people pa**ing Down MacDougal Street They co*ked their heads and they listened To the tapping feet Did you hear John Hurt Play his Creole Belle? Or the Spanish Fandango That he loved so well? Did you love John Hurt? Did you shake his hand? And did you hear him Play his Candy Man? We picked some together John, Merle and me Like a talking to Casey And ol' Stagger Lee Don't ya bet your money If you can't afford to lose Man, you should've heard him Play them Monday Morning Blues Could hardly find My monday morning shoes
