The Old Man and His Horn - The Hit Crew (热歌组合)[00:00:00]
The Old man told his story[00:00:08]
About the years gone by[00:00:12]
How he played his horn down in New Orleans[00:00:15]
In some old dingy dive[00:00:20]
"I knew 'em all back then " he said[00:00:24]
As he reached out for his horn[00:00:27]
He closed his eyes and wet his lips[00:00:31]
Then the blues were born [00:00:36]
He played with so much feelin'[00:00:47]
Tears came from his eyes[00:00:52]
He stopped and reminisced a bit[00:00:55]
And then he gave a sigh [00:01:00]
Said "You know I almost made it[00:01:03]
But that was before your time[00:01:07]
Dixieland Po' Folks Blues[00:01:11]
ScatMan Jack and wine "[00:01:15]
Slapped his knee and gave a grin[00:01:20]
It sure was good back then[00:01:24]
Reaching for his horn on the floor[00:01:29]
Placed it in an old towsack[00:01:36]
That hung across his back[00:01:41]
He said "Goodbye "[00:01:45]
And shuffled out the door [00:01:47]
Enthused by what he told me[00:01:53]
I never got his name[00:01:57]
So I called the waitress over[00:02:00]
And started to explain[00:02:05]
A tired old man - his tarnished horn[00:02:09]
Mem'ries of years gone by[00:02:13]
How he played his horn and reminisced[00:02:16]
Smiled with tear-dimmed eyes [00:02:21]
She said you are mistaken[00:02:26]
There's been no one but you[00:02:30]
But I know who you're talkin' 'bout[00:02:34]
I used to know him too[00:02:38]
You'll find him down on Basin Street[00:02:43]
In back of an old churchyard[00:02:46]
A stone that reads "Rest in Peace"[00:02:50]
I tried but it sure was hard "[00:02:54]
Slapped his knee and gave a grin[00:02:59]
It sure was good back then[00:03:04]
Reaching for his horn on the floor[00:03:08]
Placed it in an old towsack[00:03:15]
That hung across his back[00:03:20]
He said "Goodbye "[00:03:24]
And shuffled out the door[00:03:26]
He said "Goodbye "[00:03:32]
And shuffled out the door[00:03:34]
