Lyrics

[Verse 1] Buddy Bolden tuning up Blowing horn was his game Born with a silver trumpet in his mouth He played the horn before he talked Born on the after beat He patted his foot before walked [Bridge] When Buddy Bolden tuned up you could hear him clean across the river Clean across the river He woke up the working people and kept the easy living Call him Buddy Bolden, call him Buddy Bolden [Verse 2] Watch it, he's calling his flock now He's calling his flock now Here they come Call him Buddy Bolden, he's calling his flock now Here they come, here they come Come on, Buddy Bolden, here they come
