The Old Man And His Horn - GENE WATSON[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[00:00:25]

As he reached out for his horn[00:00:28]

He closed his eyes and wet his lips[00:00:32]

Then the blues were born[00:00:36]

He played with so much feelin'[00:00:48]

Tears came from his eyes[00:00:52]

He stopped and reminisced a bit[00:00:56]

And then he gave a sigh[00:01:01]

Said you know I almost made it[00:01:04]

But that was before your time[00:01:08]

Dixieland po' folks blues[00:01:12]

Scatman jack and wine[00:01:17]

Slapped his knee and gave a grin[00:01:21]

It sure was good back then[00:01:26]

Reaching for his horn on the floor[00:01:31]

Placed it in an old tow sack[00:01:38]

That hung across his back[00:01:43]

He said goodbye[00:01:47]

And shuffled out the door[00:01:49]

Enthused by what he told me[00:01:55]

I never got his name[00:01:59]

So I called the waitress over[00:02:02]

And started to explain[00:02:08]

A tired old man his tarnished horn[00:02:12]

Mem' rise of years gone by[00:02:15]

How he played his horn and reminisced[00:02:19]

Smiled with tear dimmed eyes[00:02:24]

She said you are mistaken[00:02:29]

There's been no one but you[00:02:33]

But I know who you're talkin' about[00:02:38]

I used to know him too[00:02:42]

You'll find him down on basin street[00:02:46]

In back of an old churchyard[00:02:50]

A stone that reads rest in peace[00:02:54]

I tried but it sure was hard[00:02:58]

Slapped his knee and gave a grin[00:03:03]

It sure was good back then[00:03:08]

Reaching for his horn on the floor[00:03:12]

Placed it in an old tow sack[00:03:20]

That hung across his back[00:03:24]

He said goodbye[00:03:29]

And shuffled out the door[00:03:31]

He said goodbye[00:03:37]

And shuffled out the door[00:03:39]
