Did You Hear John Hurt? - Tom Paxton

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 passing

Down on MacDougal Street

Cocked 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
