Sam, The Old Accordion Man Lyrics
Sam, The Old Accordion Man - Ruth Etting
In Dixieland
There's a musical man
He has a good time
Just making folks happy
This musical man is a one man band
Folks have to love him
For makin' them glad
He don't play melodies
Just plays blue harmonies
Just like nobody ever had
He just plays chords
That make you feel grand
They call him Sam the old accordion man
His dreamy chords remind you of Heaven
And they're real chords according to Dixieland
In the evening by the moonlight
When the sun goes down
How those lovers levee lovers
Love to hang around
He just plays chords like nobody can
They call him Sam the old accordion man
Old chord new chord funny old blue chords
Morning night and noon
He just plays chords
That make you feel grand
They call him Sam Sam the old accordion man
His dreamy chords remind you of Heaven
And they're real chords according to Dixieland
In the evening by the moonlight
When the sun goes down
How those lovers levee lovers
Love to hang around
He plays those chords like nobody can
They call him Sam Sam the old accordion man
