Sydney Bechet, Kid Ory
Key: Eb
7 7* 7* -7* 7* -6 5
When wa-gons meet on the street
-5 7 -5* -3*
The traf-fic stops
7 -6 -5* 7* -5* -5
They have to call the cops
7* 7 -6 7 -5* -3*
You ain’t heard noth-in’ pops
7 7* -7 -7* 7* -6 5
The band that’s loud draws the crowd
-5 7 -5* -3*
And that ain’t all
-5* -5 5* 5 8 -7* 7* 7 -6
They tag a-long till they start the ball
7 -6* 7 -5* -6 -5*
Down at the Eag-le’s Hall
CHORUS
-7* 7 -7*-7* -7*
When the wa-gon starts
8 7 -7* 7 -6
put the tail-gate down
8 7 8 7 -7*
watch the band pa-rade
8 -5* -6* 7 -5*
all a-round this town
-7* 7 -7* -7* 7
Give the trom-bone man
8 7 -7* 7 -6
room to move his slide
8 7 8 7 -7*
and we’ll swing and play
8 -5* 7 7 -5*
’round the coun-try-side.
7 7 7* -7 -7*
Was-n’t long a-go
8 7 -7* 7 -6
I was in my teens
8 7 8 8 -7*
And we played that way
8 8 7 7 -5*
down in New Or-leans.
REPEAT CHORUS
