Tom Paxton - Did You Hear John Hurt? lyrics

It was a frosty night It was beginning to snow And down the city streets The wind began to blow We all came to the cellar We all emptied the bar To hear a little fella Play a shiny guitar Did you hear John Hurt Play the Creole Belle The Spanish Fandango That he loved so well And did you love John Hurt Did you shake his hand Did you hear him Sing his Candy Man On a straight back chair With his felt hat on He tickled our fancies With his Avalon And everyone pa**ing Down on MacDougal Street co*ked their heads and listened To the tappin' feet Did you hear John Hurt Play the Creole Belle The Spanish Fandango That he loved so well Did you love John Hurt Did you shake his hand Did you hear him Sing his Candy Man Did you hear John Hurt Play the Creole Belle The Spanish Fandango That he loved so well And did you love John Hurt Did you shake his hand Did you hear him Sing his Candy Man Did you hear him Sing his Candy Man
