Sea Board Stomp

Sea Board Stomp - Blind Blake/Simmie Dooley

Now we goin' on one of them old Seaboard stomps

Nobody don't know how much we enjoy this dance

They had a boy there they called Piano Charles

He'd say "Blake"

I said "What you want boy"

He said "Come over here

I want to hear you

I wanta let you hear me how to

How I make this Seaboard train come on

Down the line on the piano"

I said "Now I'm gonna come

And hear how you do that then"

Now who wouldn't shake that thing

He had a cornet player there

And when he started to playin' that cornet

It was too bad Jim

That's when I lost my head

That's all tellin' you the truth

Here's the way that cornet player played

Now they had a trombone player there

He just won't quit

Here's the way he played his trombone

That's the time I had to lose my head

When he done that

Hear the saxophone

I think I'm gonna call this last number now
