Song to Jcb Lyrics
[00:13.76] Oh, listen to my story, and I'll tell you 'bout my friend
[00:17.92] Plays the best harmonica, and I'll love him to the end
[00:22.63] He's traveled all the highways from New York to Vancouver Bay
[00:27.75] Born in a Georgia shack, and he's in San Francisco today
[00:32.70] So listen to what I say
[00:36.01] Who's that man singing that song?
[00:39.84] Who's that man singing that song?
[00:45.00] Who's that man, and tell me who's that man?
[00:48.64] I think it's J.C. and everybody sing along (babe)
[00:58.52] Well J.C. sittin' out there on Grant Street
[01:02.57] Ain't got much money, and he ain't got much to eat
[01:07.51] Well, all you rich people passing by his feet
[01:11.54] You make J.C. so sad sometimes that he don't know how to sleep
[01:16.22] Ah, he don't know how to sleep
[01:19.73] Well, who's that man singing that song?
[01:24.01] Who's that man singing that song?
[01:29.14] Who's that man, and tell me who's that man?
[01:32.68] I think it's J.C. and everybody sing along (babe)
[01:43.50] I remember the lonely nights, we'd sit and hear J.C. play
[01:47.98] Bruce and me and Godfrey, all crouched in some doorway
[01:52.88] Laughing and a-cryin', and stomping our feet
[01:56.65] 'Til the landlord said, "Move on! Get out! My children now asleep"
[02:01.34] I said, "My children now asleep"
[02:04.99] Who's that man singing that song?
[02:08.64] Who's that man singing that song?
[02:14.01] Who's that man? Tell me, who's that man?
[02:17.69] I think it's J.C. and everybody sing along (yeah)
[02:23.19]
[02:41.45] Well, J.C. said one night
[02:43.32] I'm gonna tell you 'bout my shoes
[02:45.62] They walked with Pete Seeger and Sonny Terry too
[02:50.94] Tryin' to earn a livin' and tryin' to play the blues
[02:54.68] Them souls are getting thin now, and I guess mine is too
[03:01.54] Oh, look in his eyes, friend, look at his hands
[03:05.78] Seen a lot of livin' and touched a lot of land
[03:10.54] And if you don't believe he's breathing and alive
[03:14.44] Then you better watch yourself when he's doing the "Old Hand Jive"
[03:19.19] Watch J.C. doing the "Old Hand Jive"
[03:23.09] Who's blowing them blues? Tell me brother
[03:26.95] Who's blowing them blues? Tell me sister
[03:32.24] Who's blowing them blues? It's the man you all abuse
[03:35.61] I think it's J.C on his old harmonica (hey-now, hoo, hoo, hoo)
[03:47.33]
[00:17.92] Plays the best harmonica, and I'll love him to the end
[00:22.63] He's traveled all the highways from New York to Vancouver Bay
