[1st verse:]
|
Talk of yo' looney coons
|
Talk of yo' spoony coons
|
Lover of coony tunes
|
Jackson was the leader of a big brass band
|
Understand
|
While at a ball one night
|
Miss Lucinda Morgan White
|
Yelled out with all her might
|
When he started playing some familiar tune
|
She just cried with delight
|
|
[1st refrain:]
|
If you love yo' babe, play that tune for me
|
Just because I feel so funny
|
Honey I don't care for money
|
I'm goin' crazy, that rag's a daisy
|
I just can't make my feeling behave
|
Play that tune again
|
Mighty soon again
|
Honey, don't you start to scold
|
I'm feeling like a two year old
|
When I hear that strain
|
Gwine to cry again
|
Play me some Wild Cherry Rag
|
|
[2nd verse:]
|
Talk of yo' wedding chimes
|
Talk of yo' champagne wines
|
Talk of yo' scand'lous times
|
Mister Jackson married Miss Lucinda White
|
Sunday night
|
Just as the knot was tied
|
Parson had blessed the bride
|
Jackson stood by her side
|
When the music played that lovin' weddin' march
|
Miss Lucinda just cried
|
|
[2nd refrain:]
|
If you love yo' babe, play that tune for me
|
No I'm not a blowin' hon but
|
I feel like goin' some
|
I'm goin' crazy that rag's a daisy
|
I just can't make my feeling behave
|
Play that tune again
|
Mighty soon again
|
Oh, you seven come eleven!
|
Hon I'm goin' straight to heav'n
|
When I hear that strain
|
Gwine to cry again
|
Play me some Wild Cherry Rag
|
