Buddy Bolden tune 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      When Buddy Bolden tuned up you could hear him clean   Clean across the river clean across the river   He woke up the working people and kept the easy living   Call on Buddy Bolden call him Buddy Bolden      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       ------------------------------------------------------------------------
