GIt was a fCrosty night, it was beginning to Gsnow,
DAnd on the city streets,the wGind began to blow,
We all cCame to the cellar we all eGmptied the bar.
To hear a lDittle fellow play a sGhiny guitar.
Chorus
GDid you hear John Hurt- play the Creole Bell?
DSpanish Fandango? That he lGoved so well?
And did you love John Hurt? Did you shake his hand?
CDid you hGear him pDlay his Candy Man?
On a straight back chair, with his felt hat on
He tickled our fancy with his "Avalon"
And everyone passing down on Toulouse Street
Would cock their heads and listen to the tapping feet.
