G         C                                G
It was a frosty night, it was beginning to snow,

D                            G
And on the city streets, the wind began to blow,

        C                         G
We all came to the cellar we all emptied the bar.

          D                        G
To hear a little old feller play a shiny guitar.

Spanish Fandango?  That he loved so well?

 G
And did you love John Hurt?

G
Did you shake his hand?

G    C                             G
On a straight back chair, with his felt hat on

   D7                          G
He tickled our fancy with his "Avalon"

    C                         G
And everyone passing down on Toulouse Street

                 D7
Would cock their heads and

              G
listen to the tapping feet.

G
Did you hear John Hurt- play the Creole Bell?

D                           G

C        G        D             G
Did you hear him sing his Candy Man?

G         C                G
My Creole belle I love her well.

            D D7           G
But darlin’ baby My Creole belle

         C                    G
Stars do shine then she’ll be mine

           D7              G
My darlin’ baby My, Creole belle

G         C                                G
It was a frosty night, it was beginning to snow,

And on the city streets, the wind began to blow,

       C                         G

          D
To hear a little fellow play a

G
shiny guitar.listen to the tapping feet.
