G…….
[Verse 1]
GDeFord was a man from Castlewood, Tenn’
D GBlowed on that harp both night and day
How he wailed on them reeds ’til his lips would bleed
D GPlayed ’til the Lord knows when
DJust a little baby boy with a silver toy
And the polio strikin’ fire and wind
At four foot nine, just one of his kind
GThe greatest there ever been
[Chorus]
C GBlow, blow, DeFord, blow
C DPlay that Pan-American
G F D GOh, oh, where did he go?
D GDeFord Bailey rides again
[Verse 2]
G..Arise, gals and gents, for the show to commence
D GThere’s a good-nature riot on the air
GLittle DeFord’s on the loose with them Muscle Shoals Blues
D GLet the Jim Crow South beware
DLike the fox chasin’ game
He was black balled and shamed
Stripped out the silver from his hand
Now, it’s welfare lines and a dollar shine
GSingin’, “Oh, Lord, ain’t I a man?”
[Chorus]
C GBlow, blow, DeFord, blow
C DPlay that Pan-American
G F D GOh, oh, where did he go?
D GDeFord Bailey rides again
[Instrumental]
C G C D G F D G D G……………….
[Bridge]
Then he played his last note, in The Banner they wrote
“Must have been those Ice Water Blues”
Now, up in Greenwood you’ll find a plot, four foot nine
For our city’s biggest shame, they whitewashed his name
GFor that kind of sin, there ain’t no excuse
[Chorus]
C GBlow, blow, DeFord, blow
C DPlay that Pan-American
G F D GOh, oh, where did he go?
D GDeFord Bailey rides again
C GBlow, blow, DeFord, blow
C DPlay that Pan-American
G F D GOh, oh, where did he go?
D GDeFord Bailey rides again
D GDeFord Bailey rides again
D F GDeFord Bailey rides again
