Coal Train Railroad - Coal Train текст песни

Duke and Dizzy played a Band Call,
Ella told a fella named Cannonball
On the Coal Train, workin' on the coal train.
Thirty-two bars connected
the cars of that coal train.

Monk drove the funk for Bix to blow,
Bird got the word and told Satchmo
on the Coal Train, steamin' up the coal train.
Rollins through the night was our delight
on the coal train

Bud walked in with Lady Day,
Mingus' Fingus walkin' Hawkins' way
On the coal train, cookin' on the coal train.
Bill Evans, my heavens, played like the rain
on the coal train.

Woo-woo...
Woo-woo...
Woo-woo...
Woo-woo...
Woo-woo...
Woo-woo...

Dexter, Lester, and Fatha Hines,
louder and faster than the wind outside
of the coal train, flyin' by the coal train.
Basie as tasty as a Jelly Roll
on the coal train.

Cedar set the meter for Zoot and Toots,
Elvin yellin' "Man, who's playin' the roots
on this coal train?"
Rump-rollin' on the coal train.

Miles to go at a swing tempo on the coal train.
On the coal train.

Woo-woo...
