Did You Hear John Hurt?

Lyrics

It was a frosty night
 It was beginnin' to snow
 And out on the street
 The wind began to blow
 We all flocked to the cellar
 We all emptied out the bar
 To hear a little fella
 Play his shiny guitar
 So did you hear John Hurt
 Play his "Creole Belle"?
 His "Spanish Fandago"
 That we love so well
 And did you love John Hurt?
 Did you shake is hand?
 Did you hear him play his "Candyman"?
 And in a straight-back chair
 With his felt hat on
 He tickled our fancies
 With his "Avalon"
 And all the people, all the people, all the people, all the people
 On MacDougall Street
 Would cock their heads and listen
 To hear his tappin' feet
 So did you hear John Hurt
 Play his "Creole Belle"?
 His "Spanish Fandango"
 That we love so well
 And did you love John Hurt?
 Did you shake his hand?
 Did you hear him play his "Candyman"?
 And in a straight-back chair
 With his felt hat on
 He tickled our fancies
 With his "Avalon"
 And all the people, all the people, all the people, all the people
 On MacDougall Street
 Would cock their heads and listen
 To hear his tappin' feet
 So did you hear John Hurt
 Play his "Creole Belle"?
 His "Spanish Fandango"
 That we love so well
 And did you love John Hurt?
 Did you shake his hand?
 Did you hear him play his "Candyman"?
