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

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
Now who wouldn't shake that thing?

Guitar imitates cornet

Here's the way he played his trombone
Guitar imitates trombone

Guitar imitates saxophone
